Philosophy Bites
Edmonds and Warburton
Academic philosophers explaining single, discrete concepts in fifteen-minute interviews recorded by Nigel Warburton and David Edmonds.
Why we picked this
We picked Philosophy Bites because it does something rare in academic audio. It forces philosophers to explain complex ideas in fifteen minutes. Each installment strips away the dense jargon of a university seminar and leaves a single, sharp question about ethics, mind, or society. The format trades the exhaustive breadth of a lecture series for surgical precision. You get the argument without the preamble, making the entire catalog a durable reference for anyone who wants rigorous philosophy delivered straight.
