University of Tennessee students can meet with Emily Brandel (ebrande1@vols.utk.edu) to discuss which courses to take to receive a major or minor in philosophy. You might be closer to a major /minor than you realise. Also, check here for an overview about our courses, departmental scholarships, etc.

i.) Linking to these opportunities does not constitute endorsement.
ii.) This list focuses on undergrad opportunities and isn't comprehensive.
iii.) Some links might be broken. Please email me if you spot them; since these are time-sensitive links, they will inevitably break at some point.

Articles
The Stone, part of The New York Times.
3am Magazine, includes interviews.
Podcasts and Radio
There are lot of podcasts, and I can't give an objective assessment. So I divided them by my own habits.
a.) I listen to habitually:
Hi-Phi Nation with Barry Lam. This series has a very high production value, and explores philosophical topics by investigating relevant stories.
UnMute. Funky, laid back, & penetrating.
Overthink. Super smart, lovely people talking about important topics from an educational background that is different from my own. 10/10 way to spend time.
b.) I listen to less habitually, but learn a lot from. I go to these when I want to learn about a topic.
Philosophize This! Impressive, thorough analyses of philosophical figures and topics.
In Our Time with Melvin Bragg. The podcasts are organised by subject area, and philosophy is one of the subject areas. My go-to to snort high-brow British Radio Four vibes whilst learning a lot.
History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps is an ambitious series of podcasts. (See the title.) Each podcast is short, but there are a lot of them!
c.) The podcasts aren't in my routine habits, but they are well worth showcasing:
Philosophy Bites with Nigel Warburton and David Edmonds.
The Owl is a public philosophy broadcast.
YouTube
a.) The ones I listen to routinely:
Contrapoints contains astute, edgy analysis of ethical and social topics. The host, Natalie Wynn, has a graduate degree in philosophy. Viewer discretion advised.
PhilosophyTube Honestly, I wish I had found this sooner. If you like Contrapoints, you will also like this one.
Philosophers Discussing Art. I love these relaxed, down-to-earth interviews. The guests vary considerably, so if you are not enjoying a video, I recommend trying a different interviewee.
b.) I haven't checked these out yet, but I figure they are worth listing.
Wisecrack. This is a political show. The host, Michael Burns, is a former philosophy professor.

Wi-Phi (Wireless Philosophy) is a collection of lectures on philosophical topics.
Closer to Truth is a website of videos of professional philosophers.
There are many MOOCS (Massive Online Open Courses). This one is an "on demand", free, introduction to philosophy. See also this list.

Academic Resources
Academic Resources
Accessible Introductions to Various Topics
The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (SEP) provides introductory surveys of many topics in philosophy. The entries are all free to view online. A $5/year subscription gives you access to PDFs of all the entries.
The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy (IEP) is still being developed, but is a useful resource. It is similar to the SEP.
Think is a philosophy journal written with undergraduates and non-specialists in mind. The articles, whilst being "proper" journal articles, tend to be more accessible than articles in other journals. It is available through the university library.
Philosophy Compass is similar to Think, but the journal aims for survey articles, rather than argumentative pieces. These articles can be particularly helpful when orienting yourself within an area of philosophy.
Philosophy Databases and Annotated Bibliographies
These websites collate and organise various articles by topic
Oxford Bibliographies Online provides a concise survey of recent literature in many areas of philosophy.
PhilPapers provides a collection of philosophy research. It is organised by topic and by author.
