An introduction to the podcast WALKING WITH DANTE.

I'm Mark Scarbrough, a former academic and working author.

This podcast is my passion project: to take Dante's COMEDY passage by passage. I've taught it many times. But I've always felt rushed. I want to take this masterpiece at my own speed. So here I go. No, here WE go.

I'll use my own English translation. You can find mine at markscarbrough.com or walkingwithdante.com. You can also find supplemental material for these upcoming episodes, including deeper interpretive issues, translation issues I don't handle in the episodes, and even journaling prompts to bring Dante's poem into your life.

To begin, look for the header on my site labeled "INFERNO, Cantos I - IV." Sorry: the episodes are in reverse order. The hosting provider won't let me change that! But scroll back a page or two and you'll find the first episodes for Canto I. See you there!
