What books/podcasts/videos do you recommend on philosophy?

Can be of any style (introductory or more comprehensive), just would be good to build up a repository on here and see who else is interested in philosophy more generally.

I find The Prince by Machiavelli fascinating, can definitely see how some leaders take his ideas to heart.

    I haven’t found the really dry information-dense philosophy podcast for me yet. But these two have been great lately

    Hi Phi Nation is in its own words, a podcast that the turns stories into ideas. Most of the episodes start with a real world story and then tease out the philosophical questions underlying it. But there’s a whole season on the life and theories of David Miller

    Overthink is two friends who are also academics exploring contemporary philosophical topics, like the ethics of ghosting someone

      These sound great, definitely something I would listen to.

      Just subscribed to Ethics Town which is similar to Hi Phi Nation (uses the trolley problem as a plot device/theme) but not heard any of it yet so not sure if it’s any good.
