The rare book-chat podcast that doesn’t fart around
Podcasts devoted to books and movies tend to be awful — usually a pair of giggly, self-absorbed English major fanboys or fan girls blabbering on for an ice age about what they did or didn’t like. Great Books, by contrast, brings in experts who know the work in depth and have some intelligent perspective as to where it fits in the author’s life or in world literature; at the end of 30 brisk minutes, you feel you’ve learned something. Keep up the good work.

More reviews of The Great Books
Like a college lecture but without the guilt for not having r as the text ahead of time. My memory of most of these texts is decades old, but the energetic exchange and scholarly enthusiasm makes me want to revisit them. The Beowulf episode is my favorite so far. Subscribed.

I very much enjoyed the first two episodes on Macbeth and Pride & Prejudice. Looking forward to all future episodes!
