“I only recently stumbled onto this show and have utterly devoured the content; already through the first 40 episodes and get wait to get into the Roman writers/see what’s in store for the next season. My only fear is that like so many niche educational podcasts this one will fizzle out for lack of time and resource. So give this man all your money!! He never asks for any and it’s add free.
I have been frustrated with my education and lack of context for anything historical and felt like even after my bachelores degree from a liberal arts college there was hardly anything liberal about the education in the traditional sense. I came out feeling confused and illiterate. Maybe that’s the point of your undergrad.
In the years since I’ve tried to give myself a liberal education with a library card and have been slowly working my way through the classics and great books but struggled with feeling siloed and on my own. The whole idea was Socratic discussing after all but I didn’t know anyone with a similar interest in these texts, let alone placing them in their historical context.
This podcast has scratched that itch more meaningfully than I know how to articulate and anyone else out there lacking a community of readers to engage with on this topic the warmth and accessibility you’ll find here will be like coming home.
I am so glad that this exists.”

“This is quickly becoming my favorite literature podcast. The narration is superb, the story-telling engrossing, the explanations and explorations are profound and thought-provoking, and to top it all off there's the original music. The songs are absolutely brilliant and provide an...”Read full review »
