Dear John,
Thank you very much for your very generous praise for Philosophy Bites. It is nice to know that what we are doing is appreciated. Rest assured we have many more interviews planned and quite a few recorded too.
You might also be interested in my other podcast Philosophy: The Classics which is at:

Very best wishes,

Dear Nigel,
It was a surprise and relief to get a positive, non-flame response to my essay, after getting so much fervid, negative commentary from readers lately. Again, thank you very much for the service you provide, I enjoy your podcasts immensely.
If you are taking requests, here are some suggestions for future interviews.
It would be wonderful to hear from a specialist in Chinese philosophy, as we hear too little about Confucious, Mencius, and a wonderful thinker I have been reading about lately, Mo Tzu (or Mozi).
A good person to interview would be the editor of Popular Philosophy, or some similar organ, telling about what they are all about.
What do modern philosophers have to say about peace, world government and global warming?
I am involved with a local philosopher's cafe and it would be great to hear something about the Socrates Cafe movement, or Christopher Phillips himself. Has this movement reached the UK?
I hear Alasdair MacIntyre mentioned once in a while; to me his virtue ethics is the most appealing modern philosophy, and it would be great to hear him or from one of his followers.
