I would like to suggest "History of Philosophy without any gaps" podcast website which explains in a rather complete way Philosophy in layman's terms. Everything is neatly organized (just check the top menu). Also it includes non western philosophy such as Avicenna's writings, its importance and relation to Aristotle's work. Here is ths relevant episode on Aristotelian ethics: https://historyofphilosophy.net/aristotle-ethics https://historyofphilosophy.net/aristotle-ethics

This is an amazing resource, thank you! I wish they had episodes on more recent thinkers such as Kant...

    Yeah, another five years or so and he ought to get there. This sounds like a long time but there's also at least one gloriously awful and/or awfully glorious pun to look forward to per episode along the way.

Yes! A few years back I was asked to teach a philosophy class (having done no philosophy in many years... go figure!) and this podcast was instrumental in helping me to review the basics and form in my mind a solid overview of the history of major philosophical ideas and insights. It really helped me feel more prepared to teach the course. Highly recommended!

I enjoyed that podcast, and would second your recommendation, but for me the best philosophy podcast by far is The Partially Examined Life[1]. Here's their episode on the Nichomachean Ethics: [2] [1] - https://partiallyexaminedlife.com/ https://partiallyexaminedlife.com/ [2] - http://traffic.libsyn.com/partiallyexaminedlife/PEL_ep005_6-28-09.mp3 http://traffic.libsyn.com/partiallyexaminedlife/PEL_ep005_6-...

  More than just fun. EC's "freedom monster" is at least one original contribution. And topical to utilitarianism. and ethics. http://existentialcomics.com/comic/259 http://existentialcomics.com/comic/259

Similarly “The Story of Philosophy” by Will Durant is one of my all time favorite books

Great suggestion, and it also does fill in the chronological gaps in anyone's history of philosophy education. All those years ignored by uni aren't with this podcast. The companion books are excellent, too. Currently reading the one on Islamic medieval philosophy, which got us the word for algorithm.

I discuss philosophy, mostly from the enlightenment period on, in conjunction with classical meditation, in my Practical Meditation podcast[1]. There's a series on free will (Kantian conception), on transcendence (leveraging ideas from advaita/non-duality), and more recently, relationship (in progress).

Very strongly seconded. Especially if you're fond of giraffes, almond croissants, nonexistent sisters, and twin brothers.
