Show Notes
- Our translations of the Republic: Benjamin Jowett (1888); Francis Macdonald Cornford (1941); and C.D.C. Reeve (2004).
- Is the noble lie a lie? That depends on what the definition of is is.
- Danny Anderson, a bear of very little brain, thought of Joker.
- And Plato wouldn’t want you watching Taxi Driver.
- Plato is as interested in cultural liturgies as James K.A. Smith is.
- Coyle struggles to figure out who Billie Eilish and Lizzo are.
- The Jedi are Guardians, at least in the prequels. And the Potterverse has a pretty rigid class system.
- Our theme music was provided by Blue Dot Sessions.
