The Great Dangerous Books Podcast is hosted by Dr. Jim Madden and Dr. Jared Zimmerer. Both Jim and Jared have a deep interest in philosophy, psycho-analysis, metaphysics, religion, martial arts, fitness, and anything weird. This show is dedicated to reading and discussing many of the works often deemed dangerous to analyze them on their own terms within the Great Books tradition. What started off as Jim and Jared’s weekly front porch coffee conversations is now being recorded. You’ve been warned.
