The Partially Examined Life is a podcast and downloadable audio series about philosophy. It is self-described at the beginning of many episodes as "a philosophy podcast by some guys who were at one point set on doing philosophy for a living, but then thought better of it." The most frequent participants are Mark Linsenmayer, Seth Paskin, Wes Alwan, and Dylan Casey. The show also sometimes brings on experts to discuss particular topics. The podcast's website also hosts other podcasts: music-based Nakedly Examined Music, Phi Fic: Truth in Fiction, Combat & Classics and Constellary Tales.
