    Hi Dave and Jeff!

    I just found your podcast this past summer, when an elder at my church shared it with me. I started off listening to your episodes on Greek textbooks, but then went all the way to Ad Navseum’s beginning. I’ve enjoyed listening through the entire catalogue—what a feast! ;) Your guys’ delight and passion for the Classics is contagious. Thank you so much for sharing your labors via the podcast and Latin and Greek courses.

  • Best banter, better content

    This is one of the few podcasts where I actually enjoy the banter, shot through as it is with the ripest dad humor. The content is of course excellent — how many podcasts are going to feature discussions of history and literature alongside recitations of Greek and Latin?
