Brought to you by daily-philosophy.com.

In this podcast, with new episodes to come out every Tuesday, we talk about philosophically relevant issues in the news, discuss philosophy with guests who do interesting things beyond the classic topics of university philosophy, and generally try to shed a bit of light on issues that are too much talked about and too little understood.

Tell us what you thought about it in the comments! I’d also be happy to receive your ideas for future topics.
