April 18, 2014 By DegreeofFreedom in Filed Under: Degree of Freedom Project, Online Learning Sources, Philosophy

As a substitute for the Degree of Freedom podcast I didn’t have time to put together this week, I’d like to talk about an educational podcast that has become a favored learning activity since finishing my One Year BA.

It looks like I’ll also be participating at this year’s Into the Future […]
