  • Rooting for the Anti-Hero
    Jul 11 2023

    It's the age of the anti-hero, and Machiavelli can hlep explain why. Talking through the life of Agathocles, tyrant of Syracuse, and discussing the portrayal of him in The Prince, Spencer probes deeper into the uneasy line between recklessness and courage, shamelessness and virtue. Can we find our way out of the war between the sexes to a real vision of what it means to tame the lion of the soul? Plus: a close reading of Taylor Swift. Sort of.

  • Saddling Up (Independence Day Special)
    Jul 4 2023

    This 4th of July, it's hard to feel confident that everything is gonna be just fine. But that's the point: nobody said it was easy, and it may be you were born for such a day as this. Continuing a series on the cardinal virtues, Spencer pauses to consider the nature of courage in America now and at its founding. Plus: more tips from the build-a-soul workshop.

  • The Many-Headed Beast
    Jun 27 2023

    Gather round, one and all, and learn from Plato about how to get a date. Or start a workout routine. Or really...do anything good. Spencer embarks on a catalogue of the cardinal virtues--the principal forms of human moral excellence--beginning with moderation. It's not just some bland, middle-of-the-road stasis: it's a dynamic harmony among all the parts of you, and an antidote to the shallow philosophy of "following your heart."

This is my favorite podcast. If everyone in the USA listened to Spencer Klavan's explaination of the history of the west, we wouldn't have the anti-USA crowd being so prevalent.

Great podcast

Fresh, relevant take on classical body of literature. Inspiring to delve deeper. Avoids much of the controversial aspects within discussion (but obviously aware of those controversies)

Great Complement to Classical Studies
