    Not a perfect podcast but an informative one. Philosophy for the rest of us.

    Sadness
    Why does the host interrupt the speakers so much it is rude ,we want to hear them talk without being rushed or cut off.Its unnerving I actually stopped the podcast because of this .
  • mammapiku
    Host needs training/replacing
    Sorry dude, the stuttering and ‘Umming’ and ‘Errring’ and hesitations disrupt the flow. Good luck
  • Mfnttms
    Jeez
    The self righteousness is disgusting. In all sincerity, Bring this podcast back.
  • Battle Nips
    Great content. Dry like burnt toast.
    It's a great podcast, but for someone that lacks extreme love for philosophy, it's hard to listen to without losing interest. It's rich with info but it's so monotone I can't listen all the way through without breaks.
  • C mas
    Host talks too much
    I listened to the episode on quantum mechanics. The guest was BRILLIANT. The host rudely interrupted the guest every 30 seconds with senseless comments.
  • Galuri
    Disappointed
    I listened for one minute and had to stop because the narrator uses an excessive amount of filler words such as 'um' and 'uh' I really enjoy philosophy but can't listen when someone still has a nagging fear of public speaking. Go to Toastmasters. They show you how it's done.

    Mind-Bending
    Please don’t change ANYTHING. Having such a clearly befuddled host interview such piercingly smart guests is one of the most hilarious and entertaining things I’ve heard in a while. Oh, and there are some pretty smart conversations. Most of them ultimately come to really long-winded, tortuous explanations of how the guests honestly don’t know the answer. Really good stuff!

    Some good content but annoying to listen to
    Listening through about five episodes I had to stop because of irritating things like sometimes the host sounding out of breath, stopping the guest in the quantum episode before any philosophy of the subject was actually discussed, people sounding impatient and annoyed with each other, and most of all I can't stand the annoying music breaks. I don't get the point of that at all.

    Difficult To Listen To
    Host, please allow your guests to finish their responses before interjecting your comments and questions. It really interrupts the flow for the listener and stops your guests from fully answering. There is a sense of impatient tension listening to this podcast. This is unfortunate because the content itself is quite good.

    Great work
    I enjoy your podcast, enlightening. I bypass the musical interludes, if that comment is constructive, other options might be better.

    great guests and topics, poor hosting and production
    im trying to get over it, but its so annoying the way the host talks over the interesting things his guests are saying, interupting and sidetracking them. and theres a lot of breathing and and chairs rustling and the like that are distracting and amateurish. too bad bc the actual content is great.
