Customer Reviews
Wonderful Introduction to Objectivism
This podcast is very thought provoking. I love the question/answer format that most shows follow. The format keeps the show very entertaining because the topics switch so drastically in each show. Even though I haven't had any formal philosophy classes, I never feel like Dr. Diana Hsieh is talking over my head.
Engaging, informative, and it's got bongos!
Philosophy in Action is an engaging radio-like program presenting real world applications of objectivist thought in question and answer format. Dr. Hsieh and her co-host are very down to Earth, exploring questions submitted from their audience on-line via their web site with respect, humor and insight. And they mark program segments with the sound of bongos. This you've just got to hear; for those who remember the beatniks the bongos are a treat. Philosophy in Action is a gem: well thought out, presented in a lively format, entertaining and informative. Highly recommended.
Very good show
Dr. Hsieh answers various kinds of questions with clarity and rational thought. A pleasant way to spend an hour.
