Mil Gracias!
A thousand thanks to Jeremy & Arooba! I’ve been listening to your podcasts for 1 & 1/2 years now & find something to connect to with each of your guests. I teach at Founders Classical Academy of Lewisville, Texas. Each week I am motivated to keep persevering in teaching the Good, the True and the Beautiful after hearing from these “shakers & movers” not only from our country but around the world!
I also love that we now have a classical standardized test to offer our high-schoolers!
Keep up this wonder-filled work.
Thank you! D. Mallona
Pure marketing schlock
Stoking fear and doublespeak to peddle their ideology and exams.
Inspiring talk from Dr. Anika Prather
