Philosophy podcast

I am Barry Lam, Associate Professor of Philosophy at Vassar College and the Executive Producer and Host of the , the first story-driven documentary-style show about philosophy. I just completed production and release of the first season of Hi-Phi Nation as Humanities Writ-Large fellow at Duke University, where the first season covered stories and philosophy ranging from the possibilities of posthumous harm, the morality of war, the referent of religious terms in Christianity and Islam, the philosophy of music, the replication crisis in the statistical sciences, philosophy of gender, Kuhn and scientific realism, and the philosophy of love. I would be happy to talk about any of the substantive issues that arose from these episodes, as well as discuss any issues concerning doing philosophy in a story-driven way.

Here are a few select episodes on Soundcloud:

Some interviews and discussions about Hi-Phi Nation:

My own philosophical work has been in epistemology and the philosophy of language, particularly on the nature of epistemic rationality, and in experimental semantics and pragmatics. I would be happy to have a discussion about those topics. In the past two years I've set technical research aside to produce what I hope will be an ongoing series of narrative story-driven philosophy akin to the best productions we have for economics and the social sciences, such as Freakonomics Radio and Invisibilia. It is my hope that having a high-production story-driven show about philosophy will open up the field to lots of new people, as well as let existing fans of philosophy appreciate the way it connects with journalism, history, law, and nonfiction writing.

Preferably something a bit fun!

Thanks in advance. 🙂

Hi, I’m looking for a podcast that explains philosophical concepts and theories for beginners, a “philosophy for dummies” style, recently I’ve developed an interest in philosophy, however I’m overwhelmed and I have no idea where to start, your suggestions would be appreciated, thank you :)

Am I the only 1 that every off season still checks every week for this "philosophy podcast" they keep saving content for? Lol

Any recommendations for a podcast that teaches yoga philosophy, not a yoga workout practice?

Hey guys,

I launched my casual philosophy podcast a few weeks ago and got a lot of good feedback sharing it here. There's nothing inherently South African about it beyond it being made in South Africa by a South African, but I'd love to have some guests from here soon which would be awesome.

Episode 5 came out yesterday, so figured I'd share it for those interested.

Join me as we discuss art and humanity's history-long journey with it and the effect that has had on our consciousness and society

Stay curious!

My fellow South Africans... (Sorry, had to)

I've launched with a small miniseries on consciousness and how it relates to the brain, with more episodes about a myriad of topics including love, life, death, society, culture, free will, agency, drugs, and whatever else catches my attention to follow.

While there's nothing inherently "South African" about it besides it being created by a South African, I figured local is lekker and that some of you might enjoy it

Thanks for reading!

I used to listen to Drunken Philosophy every week. This was a podcast where two guys, one that had a philosophy degree and another with no major education discussed different philosophical topics and it was quite fun to listen to. Last year after a month of quarantine when the epidemic just started one of the members posted an episode called “Going on Hiatus” where he explained that due to some differences they would stop doing the podcast for a while. It’s been almost a year and I miss this podcast so much. Anyone has any idea what happened to them? Do they hate each other now? Are the former members of the podcast doing any other podcast now?
