The Partially Examined Life is straight up philosophy, in a roundtable format featuring three former philosophy graduate students. Each cast features a short reading that introduces at least one “big” philosophical question, concern or idea.
What I enjoy about this cast is the attempts to bring the "big philosophical question" into our "real" world. Both their blog and
facebook page are interactive giving us simple folks a chance to discuss the topics covered. They discuss a wide range of philosophers, some of whom I have yet to be exposed to.
Personally this is a great pod that I enjoy, I look forward to listening; available via
iTunes.
