    One of the most valuable podcasts
    Peikoff is not only the heir of Ayn Rand, but he provides a very clear explanation Objectivism, and how to apply it to real life. Don’t miss out!

    More recycled objectivism
    One book replaces this all. Objectivist epistemology. Doesn’t change the fact that Ayns entire system crumbles under the light of logic. Both Roark and Galt raped the female leads, who then fell promptly in love. Pathetic. Subscriber beware.

    Thank you Dr Peikoff.
    Very fortunate to have this series of talks available I started this Podcast 6 months ago and have almost finished it entirely. I intend on listening to it all 400+ episodes again. Liberating, at times frustrating, but definitely life changing in a great way. Thank you!

    philosophy at its least useful.
    to talk about philosophy and entertain new ideas is hard to do when you go into it with basic assumptions that you are unwilling to question. this is a political podcast…don’t expect anything else.

    Are Lucky Genes possible or just Lucky Jeans?
    Dr. Peikoff, I have argued in favor of Tabula Rasa since I was in my teens and so I thank you so much for sharing this to give me wonderful ammunition to support my position! Love your podcasts and I promise to share them everywhere I can. Gayle Parker

    Great podcast!
    Love the podcast. Thank you for making the philosophy available in audio format. Helps many people like myself that don't have much spare time to read.

    A sociopathic pre-teen philosophy fit only for moral monsters. These people got old without developing wise adult minds that age normally brings to the rest of us. They pretend to be experts on every subject, yet get the basic facts wrong on the simplest of subjects. They promise a show devoid of politics, yet every show is jam-packed with tea-party-like idiocy. Listening to this villain's anti-empathy show will hurt yourself & community by influencing you towards becoming a dumber, meaner, person.

    Dr. Peikoff never disappoints
    Every episode offers some new insight and often illuminating opinions from the brilliant heir of the late great Ayn Rand. The questions are thought provoking and the answers can be inspiring. I love this podcast!

    I enjoy podcasts, and these do not disappoint. They are challenging while not too long. Thoughtful, to the point.

    Crashes the 3Gs iPod app
    Very odd, this podcast crashes the iPod app on the iPhone 3Gs. The podcast shows up in list but when selected it crashes the app entirely. Bummer I was looking forward to hearing it. Also, I'm going to have to sync the phone to a blank iTunes library just to get rid of it. And start my podcast library over from scratch.

    21st century insights
    America's best cultural commentator and thinker is original, passionate and thought-provoking in answering questions about a wide range of issues that relate to everyday life in the West. I can't recommend Dr. Peikoff's podcast highly enough, I would not miss one episode, and I think he simply offers the best of everything. Scott Holleran

    Always something new
    My Sunday night routine wouldn't be complete without it.

    Five Stars
    Even if it was not good I would listen just for Doctor Peikoff's voice and mannerisms.

    Listen, think, learn
    The most depraved kind of person is the man without a purpose.

    My Favorite Podcast
    recommended for Objectivists, especially beginners.

    Where Philosophic Rubber Meets Road
    Peikoff connects real philosophy to real life situations, not from an ivory tower nor from an armchair, but from the city streets, gravel roads, garden paths, and battle trenches where arise the myriad issues of life and love faced (or evaded) by each of us, moment by moment and day after day.
  • Bill S. Preston, Esquire
    Very good
    Truly one of the best podcasts out there. The ability to relate great ideas consistently to everyday issues is very interesting and empowering.
  • Hos Family
    Excellent podcast.
    Peikoff has an excellent podcast here. It's just long enough to keep you wanting a bit more each week. I highly recommend for all students of philosophy, and even for those who are just fans of Rand's Fiction work and want to know a bit more about the philosophy that motivates her characters.

    How Life Works and How to Live It
    Mr. Peikoff shows how an understanding of how the world works (philosophy) can help you live a better life. The philosophy is called Objectivism and you may have run across the ideas in Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. Peikoff answers listener questions every week to address issues of real life. Subscribe now to learn the secrets of living life. (Note that there are two of these podcasts listed. One is older material and the other is updated every week.)

    Awesome philosopher!
    These podcasts are an invaluable resource for those of us seeking rational views and explanations, i.e. Objectivist views and explanations. Dr. Peikoff is an excellent thinker, speaker, and author.
  • gabbypepper
    Peikoff is outstanding!
    I would have given anything to have had this tool available to me when I was learning Objectivism. Leonard Peikoff answers questions from all areas, from all levels of knowledge in a benevolent and honest way. These are but a hint of what you can find in his courses, available from the Ayn Rand Bookstore. If you are serious about Objectivism, do not miss these podcasts or his lectures. Hopefully iTunes will carry them, someday.
