The Karl Schudt Show

A very special episode wherein I talk about strength training. How should you do it? Should you get a coach? You can find me here.

Dear Listeners, this is a talk I gave to our church group about the wonderful Great Canon, an athletic masterpiece of biblical scholarship, hymnography, and repentence. I thought you might like it.

Also, the purpose of writing history, and a little bit of Scriabin talk.

Chesterton delves deeper into the character of St. Thomas Aquinas, born a great aristocrat with immense natural gifts, but the humblest of saints.

A reflection on Owen Barfield's book Poetic Diction, on the metaphorical roots of meaning.

St. Thomas against the Manichaeans, who believe that matter is evil.

Thoughts on Psalm 88 and the Christian mystical tradition, plus Chesterton and other variety show hijinks.

This is a meaty chapter, all about the entry of Aristotle to the west and how St. Thomas defended the unity of truth.

Charmides is supposed to be about temperance, but what's it really about? Maybe it's about the Socratic method and whether knowing when you don't know is sufficient for happiness.

I continue reading Chesterton's wonderful little biography of Brother Thomas. I apologize for the sound quality--I thought it more important to get you good content than to wait until I could do it with the Joe Rogan microphone.
