"Philosophy Gets Schooled" is a podcast tailored for school students with an interest in Philosophy, Ethics, and Political Theory. Hosted by Simon Kirchin from the University of Leeds and Director of the British Philosophical Association, this podcast features discussions with philosophers from both universities and schools. The episodes cover a wide range of philosophical subjects and ideas, aimed at engaging young learners tackling A-levels, International Baccalaureate, Highers, and even GCSE Philosophy-related courses.

The content is designed to be informative, engaging, and accessible. It explores introductions to various complex philosophical theories and arguments, including dualism, functionalism, scepticism, and different aspects of epistemology. Ethical theories are also a recurring focus, with discussions on deontology, utilitarianism, virtue ethics, and metaethics, among others. Furthermore, the podcast delves into the philosophy of religion, examining arguments for and against the existence of God, such as the cosmological, teleological, and ontological arguments, in addition to addressing themes of atheism and Bety’s railings of tough theological inquiries.

The podcast frequently revisits questions central to philosophical inquiry such as the nature of the mind, the essence of ethical conduct, the framework of knowledge, and the relationship between language and meaning. Additionally, episodes spotlight practical ethics, providing commentary on real-world issues such as animal ethics, business ethics, war and peace, and sexual ethics. Listeners can expect episodes to introduce key philosophical terms and ideas, guiding them through foundational questions and offering varied perspectives from guest philosophers. Each episode is typically divided into thematic segments or parts, enabling an in-depth exploration of topics while maintaining a structure that is beneficial for educational purposes. This series aims to both educate and stimulate critical thought among its young audience.
