It’s as if a good friend were also your wisest friend. Stephen presents the world’s greatest thinking in intriguing, accessible-but-not-dumbed-down segments featuring his pleasant voice and cadence — such a plus in a podcast host. Thank you!
Crime and Punishment

I really enjoyed the episode on Crime and Punishment! Look forward to more analysis of classic literature!
Pretty Good Overall

So he does well thought out popularizing of what can be extremely dense philosophy. Lots of value here. He introduced me to Wittgenstein who is now like my philosophical true love. But I find that he is often pretty dismissive of and strawmans religion (particularly Christianity because that’s what I’m familiar with). It’s not as bad as a lot of atheist/agnostics, and he doesn’t talk about it too much, but when he talked about St Augustine for example I really just found myself rolling my eyes most of the time. When he sticks to philosophy though, West is excellent.

Excellent content and an amazing host. Sometimes as Stephen speaks, I close my eyes and feel as if I’m in a philosophy class with this passionate professor opening new world of knowledge to me. My search for a philosophy podcast ends here. Thanks Stephen for making philosophy this accessible and enjoyable without using any gimmicks or frills.
