Muse and Hearth

Muse and Hearth is a podcast for Christian women who want to extend the ideas behind classical education and the Great Books tradition into all of life. Too often we leave the intellectual rigor of the liberal arts in the towers of academia, or in the textbooks. But what if we as women, as wives, as mothers, made that intellectual tradition a part of our own habits and our family culture?

Episode 6: Reading Lists

August 02, 2020 • Lydia Foucachon and Valerie Abraham • Season 1 • Episode 6

“Words, words, words!” Get ready to add some titles to your reading list, and be sure to let us know what your favorite or current reads are! We need more to add to our lists...which is to say we already have more than we can read, but since when has that stopped us? We also discuss audiobooks vs physical texts, and building reading habits, both in Bible reading and literature reading!
