I really appreciate how AR is able to ask very pointed questions of his guests, backed by excellent notes and background research that illuminate the topic.

I’m listening to the Brittany Page interview which I found really interesting & really fought to get through it due to the host’s constant “mmm-hmm-ing” throughout. I know it’s intended to endear support of & interest in the guest but it’s really distracting.

I love this pod. It’s such a great dive into various aspect of philosophy and society with great interviews. Aaron, I don’t know if you read these reviews. If you do, I’ll happily trade you a fifth star (AND Patreon support) for working on not saying “mhm-hmm” so frequently while your guests are speaking 😬. It’s pretty distracting.

This is one of the most consistently interesting and useful podcasts I listen to.

For somebody who is so tedious about language, out of the gate Callie calls themself a “slutbag” a misogynistic slur. That could have been an interesting conversation about gendered slurs. So much for “critical thinking.” I gave this podcast a good year and a half.

The host seems to be reasonably well informed but his interview style …. Yikes. Talking over guests, muttering while they are speaking - cheap shots while they are making a point - I don’t know if it’s worth continuing with.

Keep it up!

This podcast silly. There is nothing interesting or enlightening. It’s like a couple of stoned 14 year morons going, “man have you ever thought about….” Waste of time.

Aaron joyously pounces on every problem with the anti-woke crowd, which is fine, but is utterly incapable of noticing any of the left's excesses

That episode was affirmative action for conservatives/libertarians. Young is dumb as rocks and tedious to listen to, with nothing interesting or original to add to the topic at hand. You don't have to have them on, you know? Stick with smart people.

THANK YOU for holding her feet to the fire, and not backing down. She sure likes to hear herself talk. Personally, I can’t take her seriously as a writer or intellectual, when she uses “Uhhh” and “Y’know” to collect her thoughts, instead of just pausing to think of what she wants to say. I suppose if she paused, you could get a word in, which is precisely what she didn’t want you to do. You had an immense amount of patience with this one. I’m a fan!

From the perspective of a layperson in the philosophy world, I highly recommend this show because it gives me so many delicious new ideas to play with. (I especially liked the episode on Discordianism!) Honestly though, you should listen just for Aaron’s delightfully evil giggles while he tortures his guests with the lightening round questions 😉

Love the new interview format (definitely recommend you speak to Derek-Malone France). Thanks for philosophizing!

I want to enjoy this podcast. The content on philosophy is spot on and I find the conversation informative and stimulating. I stopped listening a while back and just jumped back in; I am struggling to get through Ep89. The word “like” is being said approx every 5 seconds. 5 stars for content, 0 stars for copious use of filler words.

....and I'm better for it. I didn't know how to exist in this, the voidiest of timelines, but by embracing the void, I have embraced rejecting the void while being part of the void of which I am separate.

Even if this is the worst-timeline-ever, Embrace the Void provides me with a stygian optimism to face it.

Thought provoking and different. It’s great to hear the medium being used for something with depth. Great job guys. Keep at it!

I did not have the free will to decide NOT to do this.

Aaron, GW, and the occasional guest, dig in to philosophy with the gusto that is both accessible, humorous, and tenacious. If you are a little warped and interested in how mind-thinky things work, this show is definitely for you.

No other podcast has spoken to me and for me quite like this one. I first heard Aaron as a guest on Serious Inquiries Only speaking about Antinatalism months before the hosts first child was due to be born. He had the courege and disregard to tell someone expecting a child that creating sufferers was morally wrong and I knew that his podcast was for me.This type of dark philisophical humor was exactly what I needed after the horrors of the 2016 election and they just kept spinning gold as they tackled topics such as: free will, penis demons and toxic masculinity. As we are all in this, the darkest (or weiredest) timeline together, Aaron and GW have helped me to Embrace the Void.

Intelligent hosts turn their cynicism and frustration into tools for assessing and navigating the current cultural wasteland. I wish I could have turned my similar feelings and experiences into something so positive, but was unable. I am therefore thankful that I learn from this example of an approach. This is quickly becoming my favorite podcast; thanks to cast! (As if they had the choice)

This is one of the podcasts that I know the usual release day and time! It's a fantastic podcast for examining a wide range of philisophical subjects in this, the darkest of all possible time lines. Aaron is a philosphy professor and wise soul interacting with his co-host and everyman G.W. From current events, sci-fi, social commentary, to pure philisophical academia, this podcast has it all (with a dash of a type of humor that I'm sure the Frensh have a word for). Give it a try!

ETV will force you to think, and you'll enjoy it. Don't just argue talking points, learn how to really get inside an issue and a philosophical core level from the friendly and smart hosts Aaron and GW.

This podcast really helps. The Void would be less without it. Does that make sense? Listen and learn.

Humor is best defined as “benign violation”. It must break a norm or expectation yet still be benign. (Woody Allen called this the “bends is funny. Break is not”. The show at times makes awful statements as jokes but doesn’t seem to be aware of how harmful it is to some audiences who may experience those awful statements daily as real oppression. I cringe and hope they can tone down the nasty “imitations” of the worst in our society. The podcast would still be wonderful, curious, insightful, & enriching without echoing the racists and misogynist, even as satire.

This podcast is an always engaging discussion on society and philosophy. You don't have to be a philosopher or student of fancy thinkin' stuff to learn something while you enjoy the unique wit. Definitely give it a listen!

Embrace the Void is thought provoking and interesting. In the black hole that is the current timeline, we need more podcasts that make us think. Highly recommended!

Want a slice of politics with your weekly philosophy feast? Or is that a serving of philosophy with your political lunch? Either way, grab on to your seat to learn about the state of the world while learning about the state of humanity.

Its a really good podcast and i love listening to it. Keep up the great work guys!

This show is the abyss that stares back at you. It's also the philosophy class I never took. These hosts give us all the reasons why were doomed, and at the same time they always entertain 🙂

Great deep and informative podcast

This is an intelligent, funny, deep dive into the Void in this darkest of timelines. Plenty of good philosophy, political commentary, dick jokes, and seriously-heartfelt discussion of how to survive the Trumpocalypse with ironic humor, dark wisdom, empathy, and passion. Highly recommend!!!

Brings us closer to the truth of this timeline and brings us closer to the abyss that we are staring into. Philosophically rigorous, intelligent, and with a bleak, voidy aftertaste.

A void crab of highly discerning tastes told me this is the best darkness based podcast out there!
