Rediscovering America’s Story Through Fables | Matt Mehan
About this episode
On this episode of The Anchored Podcast, Jeremy is joined by Dr. Matt Mehan–Associate Dean and Associate Professor of Government for the Van Andel Graduate School of Government at Hillsdale College’s Washington, D.C. campus–to explore the enduring power of fables, classical education, and the importance of shared stories in rebuilding American civic virtue.
Drawing from history, literature, and the American tradition, Dr. Mehan discusses how heroes, moral imagination, and cultural inheritance cultivate civic virtue, inspire hope, and strengthen love of country.
They also discuss his newly released book, The American Book of Fables, which invites readers to rediscover the beauty of America—her lands, her people, and her principles of liberty, law, and love. Written for readers of all ages, The American Book of Fables invites families to rediscover faith, freedom, self-government, and the stories worth passing on.
