It exceeds at what it’s trying to be. And what it’s trying to be is inherently unsuited for long periods of listening.

100 well written and performed scenarios that make some of the most challenging questions in philosophy digestible. If you can only listen for 10 minutes at a time, this is wonderful food for thought. Any longer and you aren’t able to reflect or even retain any of what you just heard

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
