- Good for literary criticism
Is quite good at identifying themes and tracing relationships between various works. Recommend most of the episodes that deal with C.S. Lewis - looking forward to till we have faces. At its best dealing with these sort of texts. Weaker when looking at political theory/ broader subjects in society when it goes beyond literature.

This was a helpful distinction for me, and it opened up a whole new category in my thinking of what makes something truly beautiful. Thank you and keep up the great work... more

Obviously no one can change their speech easily, but I find myself wanting to listen on .75 time. Cheer... more
