Hear This Idea is a podcast showcasing new thinking in philosophy, the social sciences, and effective altruism. In each conversation, we ask thinkers, founders, and academics to explain their field and their work. Our guest criteria are: we find them interesting, and we want an excuse to talk to them. Our approach to asking questions is: the wonkier the better. We also get further into the weeds by writing an in-depth accompanying article for each episode.
