Entitled Opinions: Homer and Homeric Epics with Richard Martin
I don’t listen to every episode of Entitled Opinions but my excuse for that is that some of them are conducted entirely in French, or Italian! The program, when I understand it, is wonderful. It’s a show operating on the very highest level of scholarship, deep subjects, discussed by a knowledgeable host (most often with an equally thoughtful guest). When a show topic is one that interests me, and in a language I understand, I come away enriched and inspired. The latest to do this was the November 16, 2011 episode. In it the host, Robert Harrison, spoke with Stanford professor of Classics, Richard Martin, about Homer and his two greatest works, The Iliad and The Odyssey.

Stephen Colbert interviews Neil DeGrasse Tyson
Stephen Colbert interviews Neil DeGrasse Tyson. It’s a dynamic interview with Arthur C. Clarke’s name, and third law, being invoked. At one point Colbert makes an oblique reference to Larry Niven’s short story Neutron Star. Great background listening!
