Here, Tyler discusses the basics of the seven Liberal Arts, with a focus on the first three, known as the "Trivium:" Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric.

These tools, the "Liberal" Arts, are the tools needed for becoming a free thinker and give you the ability to be a self-governing person. These tools have been a staple in the Classical and Christian Tradition.

In this episode, Dale and Tyler talk with (almost!) Dr. Joe Carlson about his works on Dante's Divine Comedy. Joe is an expert on Dante and, not only has he provided a fresh translation of the Comedy, he has also produced a helpful series of reader guides.

We hope that as you journey through hell, purgatory, and up to paradise, you will find Joe's work to be a helpful road map.
