Description

Think Deeper. Live Better.
Most podcasts give you answers. American Socrates gives you better questions.


Host Matt Rupert — Professional Philosopher, Part-time Podcaster — applies the lost art of Socratic thinking to the decisions, relationships, and cultural debates shaping everyday American life. This is not a philosophy class. It's not another self-help podcast. Just rigorous, honest thinking that helps you sift through the rhetoric and live more deliberately.


New episodes every Wednesday. Check your assumptions at the door.


Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and everywhere you listen.
