The is an entertaining yet informative masterpiece of a podcast! The hosts don’t claim to know everything, but put in plenty of effort into their show. Some of the philosophy goes straight over my head, but I love the episodes on books- would you do an episode on The Count of Monte Christo by Alexandre Dumas?? It is a splendid book. While definently friendly arguments often ensue between the trio of hosts, the information is valuable and I applaud your effort! I really enjoyed the Plantagenet series as well- will you end up moving on to the Tutor line? Thank you for the excellent work you do, - A devoted listener
You guys are great!

I just finished listening to your program about The Great Gatsby. You did a wonderful job. It is one of my favorite books, and you really brought it to life.
I hope I don’t crash

We have some regular appointments a few hours from home. My teens and I have begun listening on the drive so that we don’t completely miss (home)school time. I pick out episodes that have something to do with what we are learning anyway. These are excellent and fun introductions to some more difficult reading material. I hope we don’t wreck because we’re laughing so hard (sticky-sticky-drag-drag!).
Classical not Classics
10 oct.
The episodes I listened to mostly summarized other sources without real discussion of context or critical engagement with the material. This is not a group of PhDs, it is a group of primary and/or secondary private Christian school educators. “Classical education” in this sense seems to be more concerned with ignoring modern and postmodern theory on history, science, and sociology than teaching or analyzing Classical antiquity. Bring in some actual comparative literature, trace the impact of these philosophers through history, discuss contemporary thoughts on the same subject, anything with more depth. It’s fine that I’m not the target audience for this podcast, but it makes me really want to find the show I thought I was getting.
