Mark Linsenmayer, one of the hosts of a top philosophy podcast called The Partially Examined Life

Luke, is this a podcast you recommend for those who are interested in philosophy? Is it 99% crap like philosophy at large or is it closer to the 90% crap?

I ask because I wouldn't mind picking up some philosopher jargon. I find it hard to remember words that don't seem to carve reality at its joints---the words just don't feel salient enough. But they can nevertheless be useful when trying to communicate with people that speak only that language.

If you want shorter episodes about the works of living philosophers, you may prefer Philosophy Bites.
