Good in Theory Pod

Good in Theory is a podcast about political theory and political philosophy. I used to be an academic political theorist.

The academic life wasn’t for me but I still think about the books and philosophers I studied all the time. There are a lot of valuable ideas there that don't make it into the crash course in philosophy. So I created a podcast that takes the time to explain philosophy, morality, government, politics to beginners, students and non-academics. Mostly, I do this by translating classic political philosophy books by the likes of Plato and Hobbes into human English and explaining how they can help us understand the world. But I also do interviews with smart people who have interesting things to say about this stuff. It’s accessible but not dumbed down. Deep but not heavy.

If you ever wanted to know what’s in Plato’s Republic but don’t actually want to sit down and read it, give Good in Theory a listen. And if you want to listen on YouTube, subscribe!!
