In this episode, Dr. Scott Masson and Dr. Bill Friesen, professors of literature, discuss a bit about how they came by their love of literature and their reasons for putting together this podcast series on the classics of western literature. They speak about ways of approaching such famous texts  which can begin to unveil to the modern reader why these texts were so valued by 2800 years of readers. (Apologies beforehand for the sound quality, which will improve greatly on Episode 4).
