“Cool to see a less dogmatic angle toward philosophy and politics. Wish I had known about pragmatism and pragmatists much earlier.”

“Good interview-based podcasts depend on good interviewers who can ask insightful questions without forcing the direction of the conversation. Jeffrey Howard is one of those interviewers who really makes a conversation flow, and that makes this one of the top podcasts. Highly recommmend it!”

“Erraticus has made a point of engaging with big ideas in a decent and open way. I’m happy to see this continuing in a show about pragmatist thought. This is definitely a philosophy podcast to watch if you’ll excuse the synesthesia. Can’t wait for more to come out.”
