We have different front pages? I'm seeing Katalin Balog, Marya Schechtman, Amie Lynn Thomasson. Weirdly, few of the "front page" videos appear in the "all videos" listing: https://ergo.org/videos and I'm not seeing a search for option (for, say, Graham Priest on modern mathematical logic, etc.)

They appear to be “coming soon”. While I’m sure there’s a lot of interesting stuff they say, I too hope that the exclusively male and white selection of lecturers (and presumably philosophies!) is an artefact of how young the site is.

Or "Join Mailing List" (which I'll give the benefit of the doubt to and assume they have these lectures, just gate keeping them).

But yes, it's a sparse site for long form philosophy, particularly given the existence of Plato.

Err, website Plato, that is, not the Monty Python soccer player.
