The tables have turned. Scott makes Karl read “A Scandal In Bohemia” by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Understanding this short story is to understand what made young Scott tick.
In the second installment of the series, Scott Hambrick and Karl Schudt continue their discussion of Tolkien’s magic in The Lord of the Rings. The two talk about the problem of evil in this Homeric story, what the good life actually looks like, models of hope we see in many of the characters, the unyielding power of friendship, language’s captivating ability to transmit culture, and so much more.
After years of Karl’s persistent hounding, Scott finally reads The Lord of the Rings. The two discuss elves, orcs, dwarfs, hobbits, and so much more.
OnlineGreatBooks Reader-In-Chief Scott Hambrick and Producer Trent Jones discuss “Prometheus Bound” in this episode of the OGB podcast.
Producer Trent and Scott Hambrick model how our Seminar discussions work as they talk about Homer’s “The Iliad.”
Hey guys!
First off, just bought an Outlaw t-shirt so I can’t wait to see that in the mail. Secondly, just wanted to thank y’all again for doing the Music and Ideas show. It’s been such a great source of thought provoking knowledge for me and I try to share it with as many people as possible. Finally, in the rock and roll episode you recently did, you spent the last few minutes discussing where the next genre of music might come from. My vote is for the “speak-easy” approach rather than “AI” and I like to think we’ve got something like that going amongst folks out here in Wichita, KS. If you’re ever interested in checking out what some of us are writing/playing you can find me on Spotify as Matthew Ebberwein and another local girl who plays with us under Maggie Ann and the Irony Band. Beyond us, there’s several more in our community who write, collaborate, and jam. Trying to keep good culture alive!
Blessings to all of you,
Matthew
P.S. If you’re ever in Wichita, I highly recommend stopping by Eighth Day Books. The whole place is dedicated to the classics in just about every subject you could think of. Beautiful artwork too! Owned by an Antiochan Orthodox man.
I’ve had many recommend Eighth Day books. We’ll check it out.
I’ll look at your channel sir.
