I've created a podcast in which some of the ideas of the Greek philosopher, Epicurus are discussed. Examined is the manner in which his ideas had been criminalized and stifled throughout most of western history. I've also attended to religious teachings in the middle ages, the enlightenment period during which Baruch Spinoza wrote extensively in an Epicurean vein, and the recent trend of freethinking as exemplified by Albert Einstein, Richard Dawkins, Steven Weinberg and Richard Dawkins.

The podcast is designed for university students of philosophy. Please note that in no way was the content created to offend; furthermore, before viewing recognize that although the specific issues addressed might run contrary to many worldviews, the topic is important with regard to the understanding of Epicurus, Baruch Spinoza, John Stuart Mill, Bertrand Russell and others.

I, simply, had a great time making this thing and hope to get a few hits on the corresponding video links.
