CREATOR/ HOST
The Political Philosophy Podcast is hosted by Toby Buckle. Pictured above with an Alpaca in a petting zoo.
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.
For the Past 8 years 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. For the past 3 years I've been with Amnesty international USA as a Regional Coordinator where I've raised over ten million dollars for human rights work around the world.

I live on Staten Island with my wife, we spend what free time we have outside of our work and projects cooking for ourselves or friends, walking by the coast or in the parks, and appreciating 'so bad they're good' trash movies. We hope to expand our family with a dog, or perhaps a large trainable rabbit or weasel of some kind.
