Started listening to this with a group of friends and its been such fun! Learnt so much and it made me go read more books by the philosophers. It’s so tough to condense such heavy information but Stephen does this amazingly well.

Great experience

I listened to the first podcast about Isaiah Berlin a couple of weeks back and boy am I on a spree! No fuss, no muss, no jibber jabber of any kind yet utterly interesting; basically, anything BUT boring! These podcasts are in such detail yet they never feel like a rambling lecture, plus the personal anecdotes and references made here in good amount makes it such a pleasure to listen. I started doing more and more of my house chores like dishes laundry and cleaning because I get an excuse to listen to this while doing so😂. It might seem like a podcast about philosophy but one learns a little bit of so much in every episode. I am so grateful to people like you who not only create amazing content like this but also make it so convenient and easily accessible to people literally all around the world. Keep up the good work you are doing a very good job.
Thanks☺️

Amazing!

I guess it’s true that they say if you lose interest in a particular subject you probably didn’t have a good teacher.
This podcast is amazing and I have learnt so much in one year that I couldn’t have ever imagined!

Here in my place people tend to avoid philosophy for some reason. People even disregard others talking philosophically. After listening to some of the initial episodes it’s so clear how philosophy hugely influenced modern civilisation and progress. Super awesome. 🙏

Thank You

You seek knowledge and what to learn more about philosophy? This is the podcast you should absolutely give a listen and subscribe to.
In depth and where the topic doesn’t gets dragged along. It will make you learn and question more and look deep into our society.
Absolutely worth your time.

This is one of the best philosophy podcasts out there. No philosophy book could've done for me what Stephen did. Thanks to this podcast I've grown very interested in philosophy as a discipline and it's relevance in everyday life. Keep up the good work.

Simply the best

I tried to read books about philosophy and always drifted into something else or got bored in the middle, but this podcast simply gave me the essence of all the philosophers and their underlying message. Thanks and all the best.

Admirable effort, but very narrow

I get what the creator of this podcast is trying to do (and I like the goofy humour!) but this "history" of philosophy suffers from the same failings that all histories of philosophy emerging from the western world have suffered from: they're blind to the complex philosophical systems that emerged in OTHER parts of the world such as in India and China. There are the token episodes on the Buddha & Confucius, but that's all they are- tokens. As an Indian I can say that Buddhism is not India's sole contribution to the field of philosophy. Robust philosophical engagement existed before Buddha challenged the existing order, and it continued after, particularly with systems such as Jainism (which incidentally, heavily influenced Gandhi's worldview, even though he was not raised in a Jain family). If you do want to present a more comprehensive and complex view of philosophical systems that emerged in OTHER parts of the world (often independently of similar systems elsewhere), please bring on guests who can shed light on this. Not all of us trace our philosophical ancestry to the Greeks.
