I can tell I'm getting old because I find this a very fun and enjoyable listen while I fold laundry. Teen me would have rather jumped out of a moving vehicle, lol.

These are so good. It sucks that there are only 15 and they frozen in time. There is no one like Bryan Magee.

I loved these. I bought the book 20 years ago and did not realise it was a tv show. Thanks to the contributors and the uploader. X

We still talk about Socrates and his ideas today, almost 2500 years later - he will always be remembered as long as there is any kind of human society - while hardly anyone can name a single one of the Thirty Tyrants who persecuted and put him to death!<br><br>I think it's another example - a very ancient one - of how power (or authority) is often on the wrong side of history.

Imagine this on television now. People would think they were speaking a foreign language.
