you know you can just read philosophy written by actual philosophers instead of going to secondary sources right

Yeah :P I just like audio books for my drive to work.

EDIT: And usually The Great Courses produces good stuff. I really liked the one on Aristotle's ethics that I had previously listened to.

audiobooks of major philosophical works exist, however i think they are a terrible way to digest philosophy

That's the thing. I prefer to read those, while audio books are better for things that are over-views. Plus, it is still nice to interact with material in something that resembles a classroom environment. Lectures help contextualize ideas. I just wish these weren't such awful lectures.

The problem isn't using secondary sources: I think that for the most part you should use secondary sources unless you're doing research of your own. The problem is that secondary source.

There are lots of good philosophy podcasts. History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps is probably your best one-stop shop, provided you don't mind that after 3 years of podcasting he's only got to the 14th century.

... Did someone on here recommend that book, or are you just being a retardo?

Given such an eloquently constructed dilemma, I guess I'd have to say that I'm just being "a retardo," but in a more civil society in which we avoid ableist slurs and try to construct more complex explanations of events, I would have to say that I'm poking fun/griping about bad philosophy which has been presented as representative of college-level discourse. However, on the topic of recommendations, if you like false dilemmas of the nature you've presented here, you'll probably love The Great Courses' The Big Questions of Philosophy.
