### 5/5 — Philosophy Bites

*2017-11-26, version 1.20.17*

Content is excellent. Would really like to see addition to the individual pods e.g. Philosophy of science, ethics, existentialism etc so the pods can be followed as courses. Each pod can belong to more than one thread.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2017-03-29*

I am a philosopher, so you might expect me to like listening to philosophy. But it is not just the fact that it is philosophy. The philosophers chosen are top notch, and the interviews - dialogues - are get a lot covered in a short amount of time. I am learning a lot, even just on the way to work.

If you have an interest in philosophy, this is the place to go. Diverse, sophisticated, stimulating.
