- Randall Pittman April 14, 2019 at 8:39 am on AboutRecently discovered Rick’s lectures on YouTube; quite simply an oasis discovered in an endless American desert. Thank you for sourcing this treasure. I noted several of the links (“Links” page) are non-functional; need help moderating? My hand is up....

- Josh Nyariki March 26, 2019 at 12:45 am on In MemoriumI have always felt alone in the world. I didn't know where to belong. Up to now, i haven't belonged anywhere. But in philosophy, i have companions. When i found the "Self under siege" lectures, i felt good. I confess to have re-watched them twice. I didn't know the presenter had died. I am sorry for his passing. His life is inspiring to some of us who don't know where to belong.
- Lenore March 14, 2019 at 11:35 pm on AboutI am wondering how Rick Roderick's sons are doing. I listen to Rick's lectures over and over. When I consider that he was denied tenure, it's hard not to think Duke made a political decision. Someone there did not want him stealing their limelight. Rick was likely the prof most appreciated and honored by his students. At any rate, I think of his sons after hearing each of his inspiring talks and so hope life is treating them well. I mourn his loss without having known him. How must it be for his children who lost such a treasure of a father far too early?
- Larryharless February 18, 2019 at 1:44 am on AboutThank you so much. Could be the salvation of thinking mankind.
- Armen February 4, 2019 at 9:59 pm on AboutThis is a great resource! Thanks for doing this.
- cmdOption January 19, 2019 at 1:40 am on AboutHello, Fellow Fans of Rick, After searching and not succeeding in finding *'modern' quality audio versions of these lectures, I took it upon myself to try and 'remaster' using the videos as the source. The results have been quite nice and I think worth sharing for those like who listening to the great courses while on the go. I've managed to *nearly eliminate the tape hiss sound without distortion of Rick's voice and compressed the audio in AAC-LC for small size high quality. I hope you guys will enjoy it. Cheers.
