“I love this podcast! I am classically homeschooling our 3 children and this is so helpful and interesting for someone who was public schooled and missed all this great stuff! It’s fun and the banter is right up my alley 🔥”

“We (my four kids and I) love this podcast. Y’all are hilarious. We cannot wait to hear about the next Bro-off that will happen in English history. We know the War of the Roses is over but, please, can you keep going with the House of Tudor? We need to hear about Mary Queen of Scots, preferably...”Read full review »

“This podcast is horrible for anyone who wants to remain in the bliss of their ignorance. If staying out of the great conversation is your jam, then this podcast will ruin your life. If you hate friendship, amicable disagreement, and delightful curiosity, you will surely hate this to your core....”Read full review »

“I love listening to these guys as I work. They do not come at you as experts who tell you what to think but invite you to learn about and wrestle with classical stuff with them. I thoroughly enjoyed going through the 10 part series on Plato’s Republic despite the disappointment of never getting...”Read full review »

“Fun podcast but a bar mitzvah takes place at the age of 13, not 12 as pointed out in episode 12. Also in episode 11, it is said that emotions cannot be controlled. This is a fallacy. One should never be controlled by emotion, and can learn to control emotion. Given these points, how can I...”Read full review »

“I cannot remember how I came upon this podcast, but I am so glad that I did. I was homeschooled K-12 and I would encourage anyone to do the same, but if that is not possible, seek a classical education. The three hosts not only discuss topics often seen as unattainable by the so-called “common...”Read full review »

“I spent a year catching up on this podcast. The final episode of my journey was the Frogs in which Graeme closes by making frog noises. I feel that encapsulates my experience: thought provoking and kinda weird. All in all, would recommend to anyone.”
