The BOOKS AND LETTERS Podcast explores the fullness of what it means to live as a steward of words in the modern world, an age dominated by fleeting trends and digital noise. Western culture is fragmented, transient, and untethered from that historic relationship that existed in conversation between faith, culture, and creativity. It was once known as the Great Conversation, but now we lack a realized sensus communis to the degree that rational public discourse is nearly impossible. The BOOKS AND LETTERS podcast is an attempt to participate in the noble tradition of that Great Conversation and help recover its legacy. Whether we are grappling with the works of modern writers like G. K. Chesterton, C. S. Lewis, or Josef Pieper, reflecting on the enduring relevance of Greek philosophers and Church Fathers, engaging the medieval scholastics and Renaissance humanists, or simply savoring the tactile joy of a well-loved book, the constant endeavor of the B&L Podcast will be to lead listeners to think deeply, communicate clearly, and live wisely. If you are interested in the perennial human questions about the meaning of life and human flourishing, exploring the Christian humanist imagination, or creating things that are good, true, and beautiful for the world, I hope you'll join me as a paid subscriber and tune in for dynamic monologues and intriguing conversations with featured guests. And, from time to time, when the breeze is just right, I may even be inclined to chat it up about some of life’s little pleasures: briars, beards, and good bourbon.
