TTBOOK is a nationally-syndicated radio show that produces podcasts around a given theme, such as “Are Humans Innately Good?” or “Revenge of the Nerds.” The theme for February is “Why the Classics Matter.” Here is a summary of February’s podcast offerings:

“There's a lot of handwringing these days about the American Empire. Is it doomed to come crashing down the way the Roman Empire did? We'll find some unexpected lessons from Ancient Rome and even earlier, the collapse of Bronze Age civilization. We also celebrate the wisdom of the ancient classics, and hear how one philosopher teaches Plato to Palestinian students.”
