Summary: 
Philosophy Bites is a series of podcasts which explore philosophical topics in bite-sized chunks. They're on topics old and new and explore specific philosophers to thought experiments. The interviews are conducted by Nigel Warburton and David Edmonds, and the interviewee an expert in the subject. The app is available for both Android (Amazon Store) and Apple (App Store).

Personally, I absolutely love this app. I was devastated when I thought I'd lost it when moving over to Android but recently discovered it was available. For anyone interested in philosophy they are an absolute must. Lasting around 20 minutes each interview allows you to get into the heart of the subject whilst being short enough that you can get a quick, sharp burst of what it is that interests you, but yet, still deep enough to be satisfying. For me, in particular, this app is useful because I am an auditory learner, combined with always wanting to learn something and missing my old philosophy lectures, it allows me to feel as though I'm being taught again at my own leisure. I listen to them before I go to bed when I have time to sit and really take in the content. This is because they may be short but they are not particularly 'easy'. But I would argue that this is the way they should be: accessible whilst really engaging with the subject. Perfect for those who have an avid interest in the subject! 

Both Nigel and David have books available and run day courses. More information can be found via their Twitter accounts and the website. Enjoy!
