The Canadian Philosophy Show
The Canadian Philosophy Show is a radio program and podcast that was founded as “Spring Forward” in 2017 by students at Vancouver Island University, Nanaimo, BC, in conjunction with CHLY campus-community radio. The Canadian Philosophy Show is currently produced by students from Vancouver Island University and Simon Fraser University, with participation from other Canadian students and authoritative community members. We explore issues of classical and modern philosophy, including contemporary scientific, political, and ethical issues.
