The podcast 'philosophise this' is really great bit size chunks of key figures from throughout history, refreshingly it also includes characters outside of the typical Western Canon of philosophers to look at ideas within China, the Middle East and other thinkers from antiquity.

It's a good diving board for seeing which stuff interests you then finding books (theyre generally quite short) to compound that interest.

I second ‘Philosophize This’ for a cute intro to philosophy. The Great Courses (on Audible) delves deeper into areas of philosophy, I.e. existentialism.

I’m almost one year out of undergrad (econ background) so a lot of the CAIA content is new to me
