Episode 2: The Odyssey - Odysseus the King

Classic texts, contemporary novels, poetry, professional and personal development books — all things books and reading. On the podcast, I break down texts, analyze important passages, discuss central themes, and and other juicy things you likely won't learn in a textbook. Other episodes will feature me (and hopefully a few others!), discussing teaching and learning and how to make both a bit more manageable and fun. This is an educational and literary podcast in which we will dig into the context and content of various literary pieces. The goal of this podcast: read and learn!
