On this subject, would you ever consider doing a live episode?
I'm sure a lot of people would like to attend.
(Not suggesting History of Philosopy merch.-tee shirts, baseball caps etc,)

Live episode
So you mean, something like an online Zoom session where the topic is discussed and people can ask questions? I actually did something pretty much just like that last month, on the related topic of plagiarism, which is recorded and viewable here:

Would work when you reach the Harry Kanes of philosophy (Kant, Hume , Descartes, etc). Doubtful for Sky Bet 2 League ones, like John Dee.
How many interviews do you plan on making ?
How many interviews do you plan on for this series on Catholic reformation and who is the first interviewee we're getting?

I haven't put that in the series overview yet since I still have to line up some of the guests; the first is going to be Scott Williams on using philosophy of disability as a framework to approach the New World debate. And I already have recorded Tom Pink on Suarez. But in general it will be pretty standard, like one interview every 5-6 episodes.

Just to say that I have now arranged for enough interviews for this series so have added the list to the series description.
