Get All Paywalled Episodes, Early and Ad-Free

All regular and paywalled episodes in a single feed. That includes:

• Access to Part 2 of each episode (starting in September 2020, these will go behind the paywall). 
• Access to to 68 ad-free back catalogue episodes (16-84) currently available only to members.
• To access the show, you'll get an exclusive RSS feed that you can use to get all bonus, Nightcap, and ad-free regular episodes via your podcast app of choice.
• You can also directly subscribe on the Apple Podcasts app. (We recommend registering through our site, since Apple gives us no way to keep in touch with subscribers or offer other benefits.

Listen to Our After-Show, Nightcap

Listen to the guys respond to listener email and chat more causally about their lives, the making of the show, current events, and anything else that happens to come up. Episodes include behind-the-scenes discussions of what we might be reading for future episodes, giving you the chance to weigh in on the options.

Join A Community of Learners, and Interact with Your Hosts

Get access to our Discord server for fan discussions of episodes and other philosophical topics via text or voice. We’ll dip into discussions occasionally as well, and may use this server for some Q&As/events.

 

Enjoy Bonus Content

Get access to guided readings, episode guides, PEL music, and other citizen-exclusive material.
