In an episode of the Simpsons, Homer quotes the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz when he finds glasses, to say he's smart. The problem is, the theorem is completely wrong. sqrt(a)+sqrt(b)=sqrt(c), or famously, "The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle, will equal the square root of the remaining side."

Homer's Theorem

A podcast focused on the humanities.

I do mostly literary criticism, to help readers and students get what they're reading. I find one of the biggest barriers to enjoying books is a lack of context, so I give a quick summary of books' context to help the reader have a rich understanding of what they've read.

If you're interested in my work, you can purchase a copy of one of my books by following this link:
