Podcasts by The Owl: The Brooklyn Public Philosophers Podcast
Brooklyn Public Philosophers is a forum for philosophers in the greater Brooklyn area to discuss their work with a general audience, hosted by the Brooklyn Public Library. Its goal is to raise awareness of the best work on philosophical questions of interest to Brooklynites, and to provide a civil space where Brooklynites can reason together about the philosophical questions that matter to them.
And now we have a podcast! With The Owl, we're hoping to give people a way of staying connected even if they can't make it to the events in person.
Check us out on Facebook and Tumblr for event info/contacts/etc.
