This is the last bit of Aristotle's De Anima. I think we've finally got it cracked. Sort of.
In this episode, we discuss the views of two famous dudes on Death. One is old and makes everyone else overthink everything. The other is young and overthinks everything himself.
In this episode, you'll recall (not learn) how Socrates and Meno try to figure out if Virtue can be taught. You'll remember that it can't.
In this episode, Thomas talks us through the new book by Josh Gibbs: A Parley with Youth. If I remember anything from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, "Parley" means something about booty.
In this episode, we talk about how the American dream will leave you dead in your swimming pool.
Thomas interviews Davies Owens and Keith McCurdy. Davies is the current host of Basecamp Live, and Keith is the founder of Live Sturdy, LLC. Both have various other credentials. Oh heck, just listen to the episode already.
We revisit a book we've done an episode on already. But here's the thing, folks: the book is so dang good, and Graeme walks us through the intricacies of a specific scene in this one. And it's good. Soooooo good. In my humble opinion.
KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
In this episode we play the game of Life, explore notions on education, and interact with each other. But we do these things in a carefully cultivated environment designed to guide our inclinations toward growth and improvement.
Uh, yeah, we're obviously big fans of good ol' Tudor. Just come this way. No cops.
In this episode, the Khan sees his most cherished relationships deteriorate. Anda? Nah. More like dead.
This is the penultimate episode of Graeme's series on the war of the roses. There's only one more. It's the end of an era. I, for one, grieve.
Turns out that a king who is good at war sometimes wins wars. Sometimes that means kids beg for their lives. Sometimes that mean someone gets bludgeoned. BUT WE JUST HAVE TO LET THE KING LIVE HIS LIFE OKAY
In this episode, we see the slow degradation of brotherhood, the lamentable breakdown of relationship. Also in this episode: spine cracking wrestling; young love; beating people up with sticks; and knucklebones, the game!
Where does the Pooh part come from? A swan. That's all the explanation you'll get.
1In this episode, I admit that while I, Graeme, have some good points, A.J. is ultimately right. He's convinced me with the gravity of his intellect couched in both wit and charm. What a great guy, that A.J..
In this episode, Thomas walks us through the storied life of Beatrix Potter. We also discuss a bully rabbit.
In this episode, we cover the origins and a chunk of the childhood of Temujin; that's Genghis Khan for all you noobs out there.
Kristin Lavransdatter is a three-volume story by Sigrid Undset. This episode covers volume one. And oh, so much happens. Vows are given. Babies conceived. Fathers hoodwinked. We've got fires. Vagabonds. Poison. Oh, it's good.
This is the first episode of a series on "The Secret History of the Mongols," the primary source for a big chunk of our knowledge about Genghis Khan. This episode lays the groundwork for the actual book.

yeah, his face doesn't say anything but someone who is holding the truth and nothing but all the of it

Some of the episodes of the Plantagenets series are missing. Where do I access them
She's not going on pilgrimage where she's taking on physical suffering is not taking the suffering of Christ into herself, but to alleviate the temporal punishments that come as a consequence of sin. Penance isn't issued by the priest in Persona Christi to make us, the penitent feel better, but to further out amendment. An example; say you're playing baseball in the street and the ball gets hit and breaks my window. You apologize and I forgive you. But you're still paying for the window.
I am absolutely listening to this on Christmas Day with my cozy socks.
hey, i just heard this podcast, and was thinking if the shield's symbology could also be the reference to Achilles himself, the two version the organised (quiet life) and chaotic (glory and battle)?
would be great if the numbnuts interrupted less often
I was truly hoping you guys would do a podcast on this. I saw the film and had very mixed feelings.
Dramatic reading of Plato in Greek?
I mean, technically Protestantism is a heresy sooo....it's strange to hear you talk about something you practice. As it were.
I thought this was about the Odyssey
In the ' translation ' episode, when you talk about peanuts and chocolate (around 15') I think you would have been much more clear if you had said you're trying to differentiate the work of translators (chocolate) and interpreters (peanuts).
well, I'm one listener that laughs, or at the very least grimaces, at all of your intros... so, keep em coming!! 😁
In the first episode on Plantagenets, the answer to why both of Henry the first's daughters were named Mathilda lays in the fact that he also liked to party and drink. Namely, every time he'd yell:"Mathilda, bring me an ale!", he'd get two pints of ale.
how can he have 50+ kids? concubines.
