"Binge" Listening to Credo Podcast

I've been "binge" listening of late to the Credo Podcast hosted by Dr. Matthew Barrett, associate professor of theology at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas City, and editor of Credo Magazine.

You can listen here or find it on itunes. Episodes I've enjoyed include interviews with James Dolezal on Divine Simplicity, Michael Allen on Thomas Aquinas: Friend or Foe?, David Bentley Hart on Atheism, and Scott Swain on confessional interpretation of Scripture.

Worth listening.

Podcast Recommendation: The Classicist

When time has allowed, I've been binge listening to the Hoover Institute's "The Classicist" podcast.  It features interviews with classics scholar and military historian Victor Davis Hanson.  I read his Why the West Has Won and Bonfire of the Humanities (coauthored with John Heath and Bruce Thornton) over the last year and am working my way now through Fields Without Dreams: Defending the Agrarian Idea, the memoir of his experiences on his family's multi-generational California raisin farm. Hanson can speak authoritatively about Thucydides, the Trojan War, and the Roman Republic and then sagaciously apply it to contemporary politics and culture. Good listening.

Podcast Recommendation: "In Our Time" from BBC Radio 4

Image: Melvyn Bragg

Though the radio program has apparently been on the air since 1998, I only recently discovered the podcasts of the "In Our Time" program from BBC Radio 4 (look here).  In each episode host Melvyn Bragg sits down with three respected academics for a lively 43 minute conversation on an important topic, literary work, or thinker in various fields in the world of ideas from science to literature to culture to philosophy to religion. I've become addicted to listening to the podcast while working on other things.  Over the last few weeks I've listened to episodes on Erasmus, Josephus, the Salem Witch Trials, the Prester John myth, the novel Jane Eyre, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations, David Hume, Simone de Beauvoir, George Berkeley, Rudyard Kipling, etc.  Great stuff.  Search the archives to find hundreds more.
