“Thank you Spencer! This episode is a keeper and so full of wisdom. Growing up, I often woke up
on Saturday mornings to my dad playing the opera “Faust” on our fabulous stereo system. I understood it to be a tragic love story, and that if one sells his soul to the devil, the outcome is never...”Read full review »

“Keep an eye on this guy. He’s part of the Hope for the future of civilization.
Spencer is on a mission to save the West (and the soul of humanity) with the wisdom of classical (and modern) thought and literature. And no one could do it with more eloquence, humor, compassion, intelligence, and...”Read full review »

“What a joy to listen to Spencer’s melodious voice, guiding me through the magnificent classics!
How can we give anything less than a 5 star review for a taste of the education in classics that so many of us wished for but never received. Thank you! Keep up the very much needed work.”

“Klavan achieves the high aim of resolving the issue at the heart of C.S. Lewis’ observation that “a hard heart is no infallible protection against a soft head.”
The podcast is self described as “the classical education didn’t know you were missing”. Five minutes into any episode and you’ll...”Read full review »

“This is the "Hillsdale College MA in Philosophy with a minor in Theology" of podcasts. OK, that's a bit long, but you get the idea. Also, giving away my age, I had no idea that you were the grandson of Gene Klavan. Wow! That brings me back to my 6 transistor radio days. Just great.”Read full review »

“Awesome content and much needed, but I am often unable to listen due to Spencer saying “kind of” every 30 seconds, and I am not exaggerating. It is beyond distracting and “kind of” maddening. This usage, along with uptalking and vocal fry are part of the feminized, wish-washy, mealy mouthed...”Read full review »

“Enjoyed the first return program on virtue. I do believe a revelation of morality as you have in the Torah is essential to prevent poor reason from leading you astray. Hazony's book Conservatism Rediscovered lays this out well. Maybe that can be a few weeks of pods down the road.
