Philosophy Talk

Posted by Brian

“Philosophy Talk”, a new public radio show hosted by two esteemed Stanford philosophers, John Perry and Ken Taylor, pilots tomorrow on KALW. The show is at 1pm Pacific Time (that’s 4pm in New York, 9pm in London and 6am in Melbourne, if I’ve done my sums correctly) and if the technology is working should be available in live streaming. The show tomorrow is on lying, with Tamar Shapiro (also from Stanford philosophy) and Paul Ekman, the world’s foremost authority on emotions and facial expressions, among the guests. It should be fun, and it should certainly be better than what passes for ‘talk’ radio in this country. If you want more info about the show, this puff piece from the Stanford Reporter gives John Perry a lot of space to set out what he wants to do with the show.

In Real player, click on clip 2 to the right of the playlist pull down menu. Should work.

Nevermind, it’s on now. I’ve been looking for something to listen to since Christopher Lydon left the connection and they switched to 95% current events. Hopefully this program is picked up.

I missed the show. There doesn’t seem to be a link to it on the KALW site. Anybody know of an archived link or a rebroadcast?
