Dimitri and Scot are Blue-collar, self-educated men interested in the big questions of life, the universe, and everything. As practicing Eastern Orthodox Christians, we have committed to a worldview in which to operate, and as curious and thoughtful adults, we scorn the blindness of Fundamentalism. Join us as we contemplate the strange and ambiguous beauties of God, the World, and the human person through the literature that shaped the West.

    Ep. 15 Ethics and Epictetus pt. 2

    Ep. 14 Samuel Beckett

    This month the blokes talk about absurdist playwright Samuel Beckett. Along with the obvious discussion of Beckett's work and its various insparations, we take some time to weigh in with our own thoughts about meaning and our relationship to it.

    Ep. 13 Ethics and Epictetus

    Who doesn't want to be happy, right? The desire for happiness has long been considered a constant and universal human experience, and a powerful ethical principle. But once we ask what happiness means, the universality evaporates and we find a quagmire of ethical conundrums. This month, the blokes consider what Epictetus has to say about happiness and how to get it.

    Ep. 11 The Faerie Queene pt. 4

    Join us for the exciting conclusion of the labours of the Redcross Knight. We follow our faithful knight as he purges his sin, attains holiness, and frees Eden from the dreaded dragon.

  7. APR 4

    Ep. 10 Moriarty

    This month, Scot introduces us to a strange Irishman, John Moriarty -- not that Moriarty. John Moriarty's thought is non-analytic, syncretizing, and deeply spiritual. We think you'll be fascinated by his approach to myth and meaning. If you have any desire to get in touch with us, you can email us at twoblokesandtheirbooks@gmail.com

    Ep 9. The Faerie Queene, pt 3
