Dialogue for living in this world
Dr. Diana has an amazing ability to discuss ivory tower style philosophy in a way that laymen can understand and apply to their lives, though this is only part of her focus. The rest pertains to living in this world, answering questions about every day moral questions in a principled but highly applicable manner. I believe the thing I get the most out of these podcasts is the effortless, but intentional, showing of how to live in principles. This is something we do not see every day and it's a delight to hear it in practice.
Objectivism and How to Live
Diana Hsieh covers several important points of philosophy and shows how these can help you live a better life. She also has a virtual book club discussion for Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. She is more conversational and detailed than Leonard Peikoff but they both will give you lots to think about.
Using reason, not emotion, not faith, not the stars, not magic, to decide
Diana discusses a variety of topics using reason and logic; something that seems to be missing in today’s world. My favorite sections have got to be the Atlas Shrugged chapter summaries.
