I've been occupying my time far more of late with philosophy, and far less with news.

It occurs that news is informational content with the shortest possible relevance, whilst philosophy has some of the longest. At least if you follow the good stuff.

And some of the best shows up in the History of Philosophy (without any gaps) podcast, by Peter Adamson of LMU in Munich, which I strongly recommend:

Wes Cecil is also excellent:
