“The is an entertaining yet informative masterpiece of a podcast! The hosts don’t claim to know everything, but put in plenty of effort into their show. Some of the philosophy goes straight over my head, but I love the episodes on books- would you do an episode on The Count of Monte Christo by...”Read full review »

“The episodes I listened to mostly summarized other sources without real discussion of context or critical engagement with the material. This is not a group of PhDs, it is a group of primary and/or secondary private Christian school educators. “Classical education” in this sense seems to be more...”Read full review »

“Lightweights at best; presumably members of a cabal of queer degenerates dead set on bringing about the ruination of the American way of life and the broader western civilization.”

I pick out episodes that have something to do with what we are learning anyway. These are excellent and fun introductions to some more...”Read full review »

“Occasionally the topic is completely irrelevant to me (as not a teacher) but, by and large, they’re talking about strictly classical topics, and I love that! And these guys have such a fun interpersonal vibe that makes me smile.”

“Sometimes the content is over my head, but they asked me nicely to leave a 5 star review, so I will.
The Plantagenets series was by far my favorite.”

“Listened to half of one episode that was so riddled with glaring inaccuracies I couldn’t finish. Maybe the rest are better, but it can’t be worth the time to slog through their flippant patter to find out.”

“Gentlemen, I applaud your podcast. It’s exactly what I was looking for. We need more podcasts based on these concepts. It feeds my desire for contemplating the good, the true, and the beautiful. One may even classify listening to it as a form of leisure ;)”

“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 »
