About Le Précepteur
Le Précepteur is Charles Robin's philosophy podcast: each episode presents a philosopher or a question linked to the news, built to be accessible to people who have never studied philosophy. He speaks in clear, careful French, but the ideas and vocabulary are abstract. It suits an advanced learner who wants long, structured listening on serious topics. It is a native-audience show with no transcripts in the feed, and it will not help with everyday conversation.
