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 4
Once upon a time, C. S. Lewis gave one of his best lectures ever. It was called “De Descriptione Temporum,” and everyone—yes, you too—should read it. We were joined in this episode by Daniel Foucachon, Lydia’s husband and the founder of Roman Roads Press and Kepler Education. We talk about watershed moments in history, pre-Christian and post-modern man, why we should keep the “clean sea breeze” of old books flowing through our minds. In the second half, we also discuss the difference between The Great Books and the great books, and the importance of knowing “your” people.
