Elucidations is a rare gem.
Ms.
Always interesting guests.
A top class philosophy podcast
This podcast consists of interviews with professional philosophers on a range of topics - often philosophy of language, but it has ranged widely over historical subjects and various areas in contemporary philosophy. The discussions are very clear and also very detailed - the interviewers ask astute questions and often "recap" what the interview guests have been saying, which is helpful. The obvious comparison is to the podcast Philosophy Bites; the Elucidation interviews tend to be more in-depth and sophisticated, with a longer running time. Certainly recommended for anyone with a serious interest in philosophy.
