Peter Adamson discusses Aristotle's ethics, focusing on the Nicomachean Ethics. Among other things, he discusses Aristotle's ideas about happiness, virtue, the function argument, weakness of will, as well as the role of pleasure and friendship in the good life.

This is from two episodes of Peter Adamson's podcast, the History of Philosophy without any Gaps, back in 2011. I thought it provided a good introduction to Aristotle's ethics. The podcast can be found here: https://historyofphilosophy.net
