Spending hours and hours in a car is useful for catching up with podcasts, especially when traveling across the desolation that is the Southwest and the different sort of desolation that creeps up from moving into the Great Plains – sadly, not that great in traveling excitement, more plain.
Going back to podcasts though, I love me some Escape Pod, a sci-fi podcast, and Deo’s Shadow, a pagan podcast, but I’ve stumbled across a new podcast Philosophy Bites which seems entirely too dry to be fun, but…then, I’m typecast as a librarian so there you have it.
What I like about this podcast is that it’s breaking down bits of philosophical thought into handy fifteen minute segments and from what I’ve inferred they have some rather reputable people voicing their opinions in a interview style format. The one I really like today was called, “What is Philosophy?”. That segment’s speaker was Edward Craig, a retired professor of philosophy at Cambridge University, who tried to sum up the value and meaning of philosophy.
