On this edition of the show, we invite Melissa Duerksen, our Head of Rhetoric School at Oak Grove Classical Academy, to join us to discuss some of the hallmarks of the rhetoric stage of learning.

On this episode, we invited Angela Shiver to talk a little about the joy of reading. She shares some personal thoughts about books to consider diving into at any point during the year, but especially during the often more relaxed summer months. We hope this episode helps to spark discussion within homes and among friends about what can help make for a good diet of reading. While the great books are always a great place to go, don't discount more recent books that can help cultivate an appetite for joyfully deeper reading in us and in our children.
