If you like to listen...

 We've noted the wealth of philosophy-themed podcasts. John Cleese (of Monty Python) did some entertaining little PSA-style radio spots that are worth a listen.

There are lots of great philosophy audiobooks too, including Eric Weiner's Socrates Express, Nigel Warburton's Little History of Philosophy, and many more. Check our library, the public library, audible.com, or wherever you get your audiobooks.

And look for a series called World of Philosophy, which features text written by some of my best friends and colleagues from grad school (because my mentor John Lachs was in charge of recruiting content-providers for the project). One example: my best man, the recently retired prof in Carolina who now devotes a great deal more time to his master carpentry. He wrote the Stoics and Epicureans volume (adeptly but somewhat psychic-dissonantly read by the actress Lynn Redgrave). Other volumes are read by Moses (Charlton Heston, I mean).
