About this episode
Who are we and why did we start this podcast?
In this episode Adam and Deacon Garlick discuss:
- Who is Adam Minihan and Deacon Harrison Garlick?
- Why did we start this project?
- What should the listener expect?
- Announcing a YEAR WITH HOMER!
We are all disciples of someone.
Many are disciples of Nietzsche or of Locke without ever having read them.
*This is why we read the great books.*
We read to know the origin of ideas and to take ownership of our own intellect.
To not be unknowing slaves.
Deacon Harrison Garlick and Adam Minihan introduce themselves and explain why they are starting this project.
