Philosophy Bites

Nigel Warburton and David Edmonds of philosophybites.com

Here's another iTunes podcast gem: Philosophy Bites. In this free-to-download series, one Nigel Warburton, a philosophy lecturer himself, interviews renowned (or otherwise profoundly tenured) philosophers about issues in which they've specialized. Each interview is about 10-20 minutes long -- and edited to provide at least as much insight as many an hour-long philosophy lecture of similar calibre. This is like completing an undergraduate major in Philosophy, without the homework or exhaustive reading. (I did a Philosophy minor alongside my English Lit at U of T way back when, so it seems aimed at people like me.) And I love the British accents.
