Philosophitor
Test the philosophy, not the podcast
You can enjoy an episode of Philosophize This!, nod along the whole way through, and still not be able to explain the argument the next day. This checks whether it actually stuck.

Who made what here

This site
Philosophitor is a tool I built for myself. I noticed I could listen to an episode of Philosophize This!, nod along the whole time, and still not be able to explain the argument if you asked me about it the next day. This quizzes you on whether an idea actually stuck. It also lets you search the full text of every transcript. I built it by describing what I wanted to Claude and iterating from there, not by writing every line by hand.
