Vtz ,

It’s perfect.

Remember that one teacher you just loved in High School? This is all I wanted from an educational philosophy podcast. Thanks Stephen!

Great!

Sort of a Dan Carlin for philosophy.

This is hands down my favorite podcast.

Stephan West’s Philosophize This! is a great podcast to listen to whether you’re a newbie to philosophy or not. Every episode (and I’ve listened to all of them) is relevant and thought provoking. Stephan West is really good at making what are usually difficult philosophical topics understandable, easy to follow, and enjoyable.
I am supremely grateful for this show. The vibes are great, the content worthwhile and informative. My day is made brighter every time I see a new episode. Thank you Stephan West!
