Really without any gaps

Philosophy is a topic I can't just dive into the source material and experience and understand like some other topics, and this podcast has been a long favorite of mine. Peter Adamson covers well known and less well known philosophers and philosophies with humor and grace, talking to topic experts and covering them in an easy to understand way. Don't go into it expecting just to look at the big names, but if you're interested in the topic this is a great place to start where you can find more places to dig in deeper if you find interesting people/ideas.

a great effort by Adamson who is surprisingly successful at offering summaries of a huge range of ideas.
don't miss his companion podcasts on Indian and Africana philosophies.
