  • Just one thing...

    This podcast would be amazing if the sound was better. I can always hear the host, but rarely hear what the guests have to say. If I max out my volume, and the speakers change up, I scare the cr@p out of myself. Why can’t this be fixed?

  • WHAT A GREAT PODCAST!!!!

    When I first heard that the staff of Thales Academy High School in Apex we’re making a podcast about classical literature, I was astounded! Never have I heard such deep, insightful discussion and debate on classic prices of literature like Dante’s Inferno. I would HIGHLY recommend this for anyone who wants to learn more or just simply listen to the buttery smooth voice of Mr. Winston Brady. Very nice!
