Like the early philosophers and theologians before us, we are seeking to nourish our souls, discover the truth, and live in the world, but not of it. Welcome to the Magnus Podcast where John Johnson and Larissa Bianco hope to connect contemporary thinkers to conversations from the catacombs in the classical, Christian tradition before us. The Magnus Podcast is a production of the Albertus Magnus I... more

The Magnus Podcast brings on interesting and excellent guests, the hosts ask insightful questions, and the topics they discuss allow for listeners to really delve deep into the classics, philosophy, and the liberal arts. Please listen!
These podcasts are a very good introduction into the classes that most of them are drawn from. We spend so much time on tributaries when real food is readily available. The topics covered here are eternal and truly meaningful. I am very grateful to the institute for making these materials available to all.
Enriching conversations, important topics. This podcast brings together the gravitas of the intellectual life with leisure and enjoyment - as of a dinner with friends. With a million voices and ideas out there, these are some truly worth your time and attention.
The Magnus Institute is generously distributing the riches of wisdom through these episodes. If we will be attentive and gather up these nuggets of truth, we will not only grow richer in knowledge, but wiser as we are conformed to the image of Christ, who is truth and wisdom incarnate.
