One Philosopher At A Time

One Philosopher At A Time is a story-driven philosophy podcast that explores the thinkers who shaped how we understand life, truth, morality, power, love, death, and meaning.

Each episode focuses on one philosopher: who they were, what they believed, the world they lived in, and why their ideas still matter today. From Socrates and Plato to Nietzsche, Confucius, Simone de Beauvoir, Marcus Aurelius, and beyond, this show makes philosophy clear, human, and useful.
