Good, balanced discussion in the episode I heard, and looking forward to diving into reading both Dickinson and Calvert and further listening.
Podcast Addict52 months agosfocat- Quo Vadis?
Hope you do Quo Vadis and Amadis of Gaul (which is after all THE most famous tale of chivalry from Spain). Both are certainly stories every Christian and every serious student of the Great Books should read.

Apple Podcasts3Rb 1111111111111111United States3 months ago - Please have more variety!
When I first started listening to this podcast it was mostly more modern books and poetry, and some older/ancient ones, but now every week it seems to be something ancient which is fine…and though I don’t have a degree in literature or history I do find them interesting and learn something from listening often leading to researching further.
I do have National Review and I’m listening to all of the books there. When Im done with those I don’t know if I’ll sign up another year.
More variety pleas... more
