This podcast has blessed my life many times over. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.
Love the idea but the delivery is excruciating. Ms. Stanford constantly goes from this to that. When Mr banks chimes in, her response is constantly ok- wait for it. She must say this twenty times per episode. Anyone listening to this podcast is intelligent and truly wants to learn. I believe she has good information to share, but she really need some guidance in delivery and would probably be better to do this podcast solo
Excellent, just excellent.
In my current season of life, I don’t have time to take a deep dive into academic courses or long philosophical meanderings (been there, will be back at it someday!) The Literary Life offers insight and thoughtful discussion on terrific books, and as a busy homeschool mom, I can listen when I’m making dinner, driving, or folding laundry. My TBR list is never dull (or short!) anymore. I hope to explore more of the HHL in the future.
Please please please do this.
