Customer Reviews
Great
Great discussions and applications of media to contemporary life!
Great discussions, lower production
I majored in philosophy and fins the work of Doctors Greene and Robison-Greene highly important in making philosophy highly public in using pop culture. I do think the production quality could be better, but the discussions are great.
Fun show
Great discussions of philosophy, using popular culture to illustrate and explain the ideas. The hosts are funny and unpretentious. Great show.
