One of my favorites, just one criticism.

“Thomas, AJ and Graeme are three wonderful hosts that teach a lot about Classical education and I’m grateful to them for a lot of the topics they bring to the table and filling in some holes missing from modern public school education.
My one criticism is that in listening to the Distributism episode, the gang just don’t have a firm grasp on certain political terms, socialism and collectivism are specifically put on the opposite end of the spectrum of fascism and authoritarianism by Hilaire Belloc, who’s writings this episode is about, and the hosts’ immediate reaction is an outright repudiation. Now I can go on and on into the specifics of what the difference between a state controlled by a dictator and a state controlled by the people are, in which both are technically The State, but very much not “the same thing”. However, I’m not here to spout my own personal politics so I’ll stay away from specifics for the sake of brevity in my review, this is merely to point out how instead of researching these kinds of things further when they are explicitly pointed at within the main text, there are episodes where the team tends to rest on their laurels a tad instead of trying to look a bit harder.
I only ask that sometimes, the hosts keep their minds a bit more open and research their specific topics a little bit more if they are unsure of their footing. Thanks again for all that y’all do, sorry to have this review come out so negative, but it was sticking up my craw so to speak. You guys have introduced me to more classical education than would have been otherwise, and I’ll be forever grateful to y’all and hope to learn more with you guys in the future. Cheers and many thanks gang.”

“My introduction was for want of a guide to The Iliad, The odyssey and Dante but I found much more of interest. The latest episode Pt1 History of the British People’s is great. I listened twice back to back, as it was so interesting. Hanging out for Pt2. Keep it up guys.”
