Welcome everyone to the sixteenth episode of Ne Plus Ultra - Marx's Manifesto. Today, we examine the work and influence of one of history's more divisive figures, Karl Marx.

In this episode we talk about how Ma...

Welcome everyone to the fifteenth episode of Ne Plus Ultra - Old Ideas, New Battlefields. It's been far too long since we've had an episode, but I'm hoping my life is finally normalizing so will return to our regular schedule.

Ne Plus Ultra - Episode 14: Rationally Irrational 23.04.2016

Welcome everyone to the fourteenth episode of Ne Plus Ultra - Rationally Irrational.

Welcome everyone to the twelfth episode of Ne Plus Ultra - Freudian Nightmares. In our latest engagement episode, we take a look at the crazy and dark world represented by Freudian psychology.

Ne Plus Update: The American Primaries and the Irish Election 10.03.2016

The last episode of Ne Plus Ultra was so long and expansive we didn't have any time to discuss recent events unfolding before us. However so much as gone on since then, that if I tried to cram everything into one episode it would be another two hours. So to catch us up with current events I present the Ne Plus Update, a quick and rougher podcast just about the current events of the world around us...

Welcome everyone to the eighth episode of Ne Plus Ultra - Free Will Fallacies. Free will is a massive philosophical topic, in fact, perhaps the longest running debate in the history of philosophy and today we will try and add another page to this epic volume.
