- 114. The Wingfeather Saga Revisited: North! Or Be Eaten
Our heroes venture forth from whimsical Glipwood onto a treacherous journey that will lead them past Toothy Cows, over ancient Miller's Bridge, into the dreaded Stand, in the belly of the Fork Factory (woe!), and at last to Kimera, frozen wasteland--provided one makes it past the Bomnubbles. As they travel, they ponder profusely, musing concerning the following: Is "North!" really that much better than "On the Edge?" What makes the emotional moments so cinematic? Singing the song of the ancient stones is a moral neutral? Plus, a live dictation of a email to Andrew Peterson concerning Oskar’s common place book! Join us! If you dare...

55 min - 113. The Iliad of Homer, Part 5: Books 13-17
As a slight chill permeates the Texas air as the guys discuss the themes, characters, and action in books 13-17 of the Iliad. Featuring: Patroclus' death, Achilles partially rejected prayer, Star Wars: The Last Jedi references, Cooper's mom as the remnant of the Trojan war, liturgy, extended metaphors, Hera swearing by her marriage bed, godlike middle children, and, inconceivably, an Achaian General being an actual boss.

39 min - 112. The Iliad of Homer, Part 4: Books 9-12
After sarcastically summarizing the four books, the guys launch into a discussion led by Bryson on books 9-12 of the Iliad. How do signs affect our lives? Who is the best leader in the Iliad? Is Hector really likable, or is his glory selfish? All these questions, plus much more, all found here!

31 min - 111. The Iliad of Homer, Part 3: Books 5-8
How does Homer make Hektor more likeable? What insights can Helen give us about Paris? Speaking of, will he do anything? Is the Iliad pro kleos-warrior-ethic? Men hurt the gods, the gods hurt men, men kill and are killed, and somehow we have an utterly compelling, beautiful, scene between man and wife and child. Plus a freebie show idea which may or may not include the clone wars narrator. It's the Iliad!

28 min - 110. The Wingfeather Saga Revisited: On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness
Like eager thwaps (iykyk), the gang gathers gleefully to discuss the first book of the Wingfeather Saga! A lengthy conversation about all of the following ensues: why the actress for Nia in the animated series is way too old for the character, how the worldbuilding is delightfully whimsical and confusing, and a ten-minute section where many footnotes are read and much laughter had. Come, sit by the fire, put in some earbuds, and discover the joy to be had reading On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness.

52 min - 109. The Iliad of Homer, Part 2: Books 1-4
The guys convene again to start discussing a classic of ancient literature. The topics of conversation include: in what ways does Agamemnon stink as a leader? (Hint: in all of them. All the ways) Does Achilles overreact to the dishonor done to him with his pity-party? What's going on with the gods' pettiness? Is Paris...? Does he...? Well, you'll see.

32 min - 106. Theogony, Part 2: Comparing and Contrasting with Genesis
The guys convene again to finish their discussion on Theogony: the origin story of Greek mythology. They conclude their overall discussion on the events of the book and proceed to compare and contrast ("with vigor") this pagan genesis with the Real One that begins the story of Scripture. Plus, thoughts on male fantasy authors writing women characters and hot (cold) takes on the Barbie movie.

37 min - 105. Theogony, Part 1: Why Read the Pagan Classics?
This isn't your mama's Genesis. The ancient Greek, Hesiod, writes in this poem concerning the origin of the Titans, gods, and other beings--and it's not pretty. So why would Christians want to read this? Listen to hear the guys talk through it. Part 2 next week!
