The Academy Podcast

Really good way to process my thoughts for my political philosophy class!

Epicurus was not a contemporary of Epictetus. Epicurus predates Epictetus by hundreds of years. Zeno of Citium was a younger, by roughly 10 years, contemporary of Epicurus. Also, the analysis of Epicurean dogma is poor.

So far this has been a great podcast! I really appreciate their willingness to look at different interpretations and approaches. It’s a great exercise not just in Plato, but in how to read well. I Really looking forward to seeing what books you guys do next!

Did you fall asleep in your humanities class because your professor was boring? Do you want to actually understand what people mean when they talk about Plato? Do you want to impress people the next time you’re at some event and there’s a lull in the conversation? Then the Academy Podcast is for you! Austin and Aaron do an amazing job of taking these difficult concepts and making them understandable. Easy and enjoyable to listen to, and you’ll learn so much about these important texts. Also, teachers: this is GREAT content to listen to and share with your students, especially in an AP World class!!!
