One of the joys of a long commute (ha!) is the opportunity to listen to Podcasts. To be perfectly honest, lately I’ve been listening to “David Tennant Does a Podcast With\u2026.” but I thought I’d put together a list of philosophical podcasts for students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here is a list of 100 podcasts collected by Daily Nous (Updated July 2021): https:\/\/dailynous.com\/2020\/11\/23\/big-list-philosophy-podcasts\/<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In what follows is a non-exhaustive list of some of my favorites and some recommendations from other philosophers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n UNMUTE<\/strong><\/a> – <\/strong> “A Podcast where philosophy and real-world issues collide.<\/em>” PHILOSOPHY BITES <\/strong><\/a>– <\/strong> NO NARROW THING<\/a><\/strong>– “The podcast that gets philosophical about everything.<\/em>” HI-PHI NATION <\/a>(SLATE) – “A show about philosophy that turns stories into ideas.<\/em>” PARTIALLY EXAMINED LIFE<\/a> – “A philosophy podcast by some guys who were at one point set on doing philosophy for a living \u2026<\/em>“ PHILOSOPHY TALK <\/a>(NPR) – “The program that questions everything\u2026except your intelligence.<\/em>“ <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n And here are some recommendations from friends:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n VERY BAD WIZARDS<\/a> – “A philosopher and a psychologist ponder human morality<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n NEW BOOKS IN PHILOSOPHY<\/a> A podcast from the New Books Network – you can search through books based on subject (which is a nice feature). <\/p>\n\n\n\n ELUCIDATIONS <\/a>– A University of Chicago Podcast<\/p>\n\n\n\n HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY (without any gaps) <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n CONVERSATIONS WITH DIOTIMA: History of Women Philosophers and Scientists<\/a> While not techically a podcast, you can click on episodes which will bring you to YouTube. <\/p>\n\n\n\n BBC4 Radio’s “IN OUR TIME<\/a>” has programing on philosophical themes. This one is on Aristotle’s Biology<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hosted by Myisha Cherry, the podcast focuses on diverse philosophers. “It is called UnMute because we want to give a platform to people and topics that have been silenced.” I really liked Episode 037 with Dr. Michele Moody-Adams discussing monuments and memorials, but UnMute has loads of great topics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is one of the more popular philosophy podcasts – with over 400 ‘bites.’ There is also an ‘Aesthetics Bites’ version. Nigel Warburton interviews well-known philosophers on a wide variety of topics. Try a bite from May 30, 2017: Aaron Meskin on The Definition of Art<\/a>. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
For full disclosure, I went to grad school with one of the hosts, Dustyn Addington. The podcast is fun and thoughtful. I’d recommend #30: “Microaggressions and Trans Identity with Sam Sumpter<\/a>.”

Another very popular podcast produced by SLATE. It is very well produced and probably sounds a bit more like what you think a podcast would sound like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another popular podcast, airing episodes for over ten years. There are episodes dedicated to discussing the work of particular philosophers. For example, Episode 16 was on Danto’s work (and I guess the hosts joked that Danto would never listen to it- but he did and he liked it!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Technically a show on NPR, you can listen to the old shows online as if it were a podcasts. This was the first all philosophy show I was every aware of (and hosted by pretty famous professional philosophers). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
