Philosophiraga: The Video Games and Philosophy Podcast
Philosophiraga is an audio presentation in the Well-Red Mage family of content. Each episode, I look at a big idea from the history of philosophy and discuss how it relates to the world of video games. It's sort of like an introductory philosophy course mashed up with gaming culture, which (I like to think) makes it a bit more interesting. If you've already studied philosophy, you're unlikely to learn anything new from Philosophiraga... but I hope you might be able to enjoy listening anyway.

It's probably fair to say that the player characters in Grand Theft Auto aren't the best people, but how do we establish this? What should compel them to be better? And shouldn't we do more to be nice to fictional characters?
