Best way to start your philosophy journey

Start at the beginning and hit play, that's all!

Stephen West, if you're reading this, your show is exceptional. please don't stop, even if we get hit by an apocalypse! (speaking of, please make an episode on apocalyptic societal philosophy/structures)

my favourite way to enjoy this podcast was by going for late night walks with my dog while listening to this. Excellent examples, great dissection of the literature and teaches you how thinking has changed over Millenia. I came with an open mind, and left with a full one, motivated to continue my pursuit in philosophy. I've recommended this to many people IRL.
