In this video Patrick and Amanda discuss a few common misconceptions of poetic knowledge, like that it…

Is the study of poetry
Is only for pre-school children
Only has to do with stories and the moral imagination
Is romanticism repackaged

On this episode we interview Alec Bianco, director of marketing for the Circe Institute. We talk about education as an invitation (but how that balances with the necessity of boundaries), the power of the moral imagination, and then, finally, we dive into the topic of the Socratic command to "Know Thyself" contrasted with the modern temptation to "Trust Thyself."

On this episode we interview Annie Crawford. Annie is a cultural apologist, classical educator, and homeschool mom. She teaches online courses for The Symbolic World, as well as apologetics and humanities courses for high schoolers at Vine Classical Community of Austen. In this episode we talk about how symbolism and a sacramental view of the world takes us deeper into Reality, and in honor of the Christmas season we talk about how feasting imprints truth, goodness, and beauty onto our souls!
