A little learning

[sienamystic]

So recently I've been listening to a bunch of podcasts from Matthew Herbst, a professor out of UCSD. (Their podcasts can be searched here. Unfortunately, I think they take their podcasts down rather quickly after the course is over - the excellent Development of Christianity series from 2009 I've been listening to seems to not be there, although I have the files on my computer if anyone is really interested. Although hmm...his 2010 series on the Byzantine Empire seems to still be up.

Anyway, I find his stuff really engaging. I have his Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome stuff kicking around on my Itunes as well, and they were perfect for the long roadtrip to Kentucky we just got back from.

I have a dental appointment scheduled today. Bemo has an appointment at the same time, amusingly enough. Although as I said, we won't be in side by side dental chairs, like some incredibly messed up Cialis commercial.

Thanks for the rec! I've been listening to a Donald Kagan podcast series on Ancient Greece and was wondering what I was going to listen to next -- the Byzantine Empire one sounds perfect.
