Ideas Matter

A podcast where two mates discuss philosophy, politics and intellectual history, because Ideas Matter.

Ideas Matter is hosted by Louis, a PhD student in political theory, and Alex, a humanities teacher.

Each episode is structured around the work of a great thinker. We aim to explore their ideas in an accessible manner, without dumbing them down.

No topic is off limits: the theology of Saint Augustine, Lenin’s revolutionary theory, Marx’s critique of capitalism, Platonic discussions on love, or Nietzsche’s metaphysical musings.

This podcast may use dynamic content insertion

Stats: Statistics are produced by Spotify for Creators to help Ideas Matter to understand how many downloads it is getting, or how many people are listening. Your device’s IP address and user agent is used to help calculate this figure. Spotify for Creators is IAB v2 certified. Here is more detail about podcast statistics.

Dynamic content insertion: Spotify for Creators may use limited data that they know about you - the device you’re using, the approximate location you’re in, or other data that can be derived from this, like the current weather forecast for your area - to change parts of the audio. Ideas Matter may do this for advertising or for other forms of content, like news stories.

Ideas Matter is able to use the above tools since its podcast host or measurement company offers this service. It doesn’t mean that this individual podcast uses them, or has access to this functionality. We use open data.
