  • Pythagoras

    Pythagoras
    Jan 8 2025

    Pythagoras of Samos[a] (Ancient Greek: Πυθαγόρας; c. 570 – c. 495 BC)[b], often known mononymously as Pythagoras, was an ancient Ionian Greek philosopher, polymath, and the eponymous founder of Pythagoreanism. His political and religious teachings were well known in Magna Graecia and influenced the philosophies of Plato, Aristotle, and, through them, the West in general. Knowledge of his life is clouded by legend; modern scholars disagree regarding Pythagoras's education and influences, but they do agree that, around 530 BC, he travelled to Croton in southern Italy, where he founded a school in which initiates were sworn to secrecy and lived a communal, ascetic lifestyle.

Consistently informative and funny

I need to start this review by noting that Audible content management has consistently delayed release of new episodes of this podcast for the last several (at least 3) months. Each Wednesday morning I awake to no new episode, I go to sleep with no new episode, then the Thursday morning Audible has the episode, and has the nerve to timestamp it Wednesday. I have contacted Audible customer support multiple times and have been told that Audible is "aware there is a new episode but is reviewing it for audio quality - check back much later today." I tell the rep (who is just reading whatever Audible overlords have told them to say) that the episode has already been released on other platforms with no discernable audio quality issues, and the production has never been anything less than excellent anyway. They continue down their script and I quit the chat. I don't know what purpose this schtick serves, but it's tedious and leaves me with the impression someone on the content management team has some kind of trifling agenda and a narrow span of control.
Fin.

WRT the podcast itself, I have been listening for about 3 years, and have realized that the 30-40 minutes a week I spend listening has been an integral part of my self-care routine. The humor boosts my mood, the informative content keeps my brain plastic. And it's not true crime (well, generally)! And, as I already noted, the production is excellent - despite whatever Audible says.
