You 100% know he is truly expert from how down to earth and clear his examples are—-if you know it, you can teach it! Just a wonderful guest, from Newfoundland history and anecdotes to the depths of philosophy to its real and modern applications.

Woah no way! I literally just finished working through the first two installments of this series with Mr. Furlong and was quite simply blown away by the analysis going on, so really glad I can move right on to part 3 straight away :-) And not only is the material fascinating, but I find Furlong a genuinely likeable and knowledgeable guest who I think does a great job in helping digest and carefully explain these at times dense philosophical conundrums. The commentary from pt 2 on modern bourgeois academia especially really hit home for me as a current undergrad in Philosophy ... Anyways, hope to see more future collabs between you two! ❤️
