​
The podcast covers (surprise) political philosophy and theory in a broad sense; it has featured many of the world's leading academics in these and related fields (such as Elizabeth Anderson, Orlando Patterson, Phillip Pettit, Jacob Levy, Peter Singer, Samuel Moyn, Jonathan Wolff, Stanley Fish, and Cecile Fabre) as well as politicians (such as Senator Sherrod Brown, or Civil Rights Commission Chair, Mary Francis Berry), and commentators (such as Ian Dunt).
To date, it has had almost a million downloads and is consistently ranked as one of the top podcasts in philosophy. Interviews have been of interest to general audiences, specialists, and featured on a number of undergraduate and graduate academic syllabuses. A collection of edited material from the podcast was also recently published with Oxford University Press.
CREATOR/ HOST

The subject has been a passion of mine forever. I was born in Grimsby, England and grew up in Whitley Bay. I Studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford University from 2006-2009 and gained an MA in Political Philosophy from the University of York in 2010.
​
My interest also comes from working in political and activism: I have worked in progressive and electoral organizing in the US working for advocacy groups such as the Human Rights Campaign, Environment America, The Working Families party, and Democratic consulting groups, and Amnesty International.
I recently moved back to the UK and currently live in Edinburgh with my wife.
