A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

love sisyphus55! every idea presented is so well-articulated (whether by sisyphus or his guests) and each episode is so saturated in philosophical, psychological, and sociological concepts that you can listen to them over and over and keep finding new things. great stuff!!

calvinandhobbesenjoyer · Sep 2023

I started watching his videos two years ago and so when he came out with a podcast, I was so excited! The 2020 Sucked episode is something I often revisit because it’s just so, wonderfully articulated. The other episodes, though more casual, are still amazing and I’m always eager for a new one to come out! Unrelated but his youtube videos are also excellent (the airport love one really struck a chord) and what made me interested in philosophy as a major <3

loquat tree · Dec 2021

Creating a podcast that dives into psychoanalytic, anthropological, and philosophical thought is a large feat. And the Sisyphus 55 Podcast serves these principles in a way that is both not overwhelming and intriguing to even the least avid readers of his literature base. They Take a deep introspective look into many abstract niches of the human psyche, and i can’t wait to listen to more.

toillion · Dec 2020

I have been a big fan of his videos, but the podcast is excellent. I have enjoyed each and every episode and it always leaves me with questions that I may not have answers to, but I’m willing to look for them.
