Great podcast

I love this podcast, and the host’s quirky charm. I always listen to it on my commute to class because he often covers texts that I’m reading in class, and is sure to stay true to the premises of the text, making it clear when he inserts his own opinion. I love this podcast even more knowing that the hosts stands with Palestine, as any one who hasn’t completely lost their mind and humanity should. Thanks for all the work you put into this show! I love it and am so glad it exists.

Keep it up

I’ve appreciated your channel over the years but I especially appreciate you using your position to educate us all about the founding of Israel and the (true) banality of evil. Love to hear a philosophy/theory head actually take a stance and do something in 2024. Solidarity from this American-Jew.

Don’t let the haters get you down

Your stand on Palestine is moral and correct. I appreciate that you’re relentlessly fair-minded but sometimes situations have clear villains and it’s important to take a stand. Thank you for the clarity.
