Ep. 098 - The Best and Most Noble Things

The Magnus Podcast is BACK and better than ever.  If you’re a returning listener, you’ll notice that this season premiere is a change of pace from previous episodes as we announce a tier of courses in the Magnus Fellowship: The Cohort: A Community of Learning for Liberal Education. 

This three-year program is at the heart and soul of the Albertus Magnus Institute; it’s an attempt to make concrete what we have been aiming to do since the beginning — to give our Fellows the principle parts of liberal education and unite them as they seek to discover the truth together. 

This episode is the recording of our recent Q & A webinar where we answered questions from participating Fellows and shared our vision for liberal learning. Now we’re sharing it with you. Whether you’re a returning or new listener, we hope you enjoy, and we hope to see you in the Cohort!

Ep. 097 - Victory Has Defeated You

Today we bring you the 20th and final episode of season 3. This season we talked about all things liberal arts from music and monarchy to Plato and Socrates to freeing minds and humanizing humans. It only seemed right then, to finish this season with a return to our first guest, Professor Steven Cortright, who opened the show with an episode appropriately titled, “The Liberal Arts".

He returns now to discuss the current state of higher education and a sneak peak into coming things for AMI.
