Today Professor Kozlowski takes on the Roman Empire - its legacy (historical and mythological), its organization, and the ideas of some of its most influential thinkers: Cicero and Polybius. Many great political thinkers take Rome as the closest thing to a perfect government ever created - hopefully we can reach some conclusions about what made Rome work, and why this obsession with Rome might be a result of the greatest propaganda campaign in history.Readings today come from Cicero's De Legibus and Polybius' Universal History, Book VI.Additional Readings include Virgil's Aeneid, Livy's Ab Urbe Condita, Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, the writings of Seneca, and Rome: Total War for my gamer fans.If you're interested in Professor Kozlowski's other online projects, check out his website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠professorkozlowski.wordpress.com

Are we Rome yet? It's become all too easy to compare contemporary America's woes with those of late republican Rome. And even easier to argue that the democracy destroying Donald Trump is the second coming of Julius Caesar. But according to the distinguished American classicist David Potter, author of Master of Rome, we've got Julius Caesar all wrong. Don't trust Cicero's version of Caesar, Potter warns. Julius Caesar was actually a friend rather than a foe of democracy—he wasn't even 'Caesarian' in the dictatorial sense we've come to associate with his name. Actually Caesar - with his veneration for the Roman state and his attention to detail - has much more in common with FDR than with Donald Trump. Rather than a warning, then, Julius Caesar offers a model for American politicians trying to rebuild democratic institutions and values in our populist age. 1. Caesar was more FDR than TrumpPotter argues Caesar was a competent, detail-oriented administrator who passed major social reforms (land redistribution, veteran benefits) to help ordinary Romans—much like Roosevelt's New Deal. Unlike Trump, Caesar valued facts, logistics, and effective governance.2. Roman "democracy" failed because elites stopped sharing powerThe Roman Republic collapsed not because of Caesar, but because the aristocracy concentrated wealth and excluded most Italians from citizenship despite promises of reform. Caesar emerged because the system had already broken down.3. Caesar was inclusive, not exclusionaryUnlike typical autocrats, Caesar integrated former enemies and conquered peoples (like the Gauls) into his system. He pardoned rivals like Cicero and promoted social mobility—even freed slaves could become citizens and rise to high positions.4. The "Caesarian" reputation comes from biased sourcesMuch of Caesar's tyrannical image comes from Cicero, who defended corrupt politicians and arbitrary executions when it suited him. Reading Caesar's own writings reveals a thoughtful strategist, not a bloodthirsty dictator.5. Competent authoritarianism beats incompetent democracyPotter's key warning: when democratic institutions fail to serve citizens, they'll accept strong leadership that delivers results. Caesar succeeded because he could actually govern—a lesson about the importance of making democracy work for everyone.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Most people today remember the Roman aristocratic woman Clodia as the target of one of Cicero's nastiest works, but Douglas Boin has written a wonderful new book - Clodia of Rome - that recovers just how central she was to the political networks of the late Roman Republic. Clodia was a woman in a world of men and a truly principled reformer, and exploring her story tells us an extraordinary amount about a time and place we thought we knew so well.Patrick's book is now available!

Send us a textRemember waiting anxiously by the radio, finger hovering over the record button, ready to capture that perfect song for your mixtape? That deep musical nostalgia kicked off our conversation this week as we explored how our relationship with music has evolved through the decades.From the ritual of recording songs off B96 and Q101 in Chicago to the innovative CD cases that held our prized music collections, we unpacked the technological journey that's shaped how we experience sound. Remember the excitement of getting a new CD with printed lyrics in the booklet? Our kids will never understand the struggle! Now they simply stare at Alexa and ask for words to any song. The transition from physical media to digital streaming mirrors our own journey from adolescence to adulthood—each phase building on the last while something intangible is left behind.Between musical reminiscences, we shared tales of extreme weather (including a 24-hour power outage that led to refrigerator food casualties), tested bizarre Panera Bread Mac & Cheese scented lip balm (with dramatically different sensory results), and discovered a new parenting trend called "MAFO" (Mess Around and Find Out). We even explored the curious case of Swingathon Festival in tiny Allington, UK—a three-day adult event that doubles the town's population and raises eyebrows among locals.What connects these seemingly disparate topics? The thread of shared experience despite our different perspectives. Whether it's disagreeing about food safety after power outages or experiencing the same lip balm completely differently (one of us couldn't smell the cheese at all!), we're constantly reminded that even two people with the same name can have wildly different takes on the world.

Het nieuwste boek van emeritus-hoogleraar Piet de Rooy lijkt geschreven uit plezier, maar ook uit zorg om het zogenoemde post truth-tijdperk. De tijd, de waarheid en de geschiedenis neemt ons mee op onbekende paden uit het verleden en legt uit hoe we terecht zijn gekomen in een wereld van complottheorieën die concurreren met de werkelijkheid. ‘Als we onze wetenschappelijke en vergelijkbare instituties niet bewaken, gaat de waarheidsvinding voor altijd verloren,' waarschuwt de historicus in deze aflevering van de podcast.Bij kermissen denken we tegenwoordig aan botsautootjes en draaimolens. Maar ooit was de kermis een dagenlang feest vol religieuze rituelen in katholieke dorpen. Overdag liep men mee in processies en 's avonds sloten dorpsbewoners het festijn af met een drankgelag. Dat stopte pas toen de overheid paal en perk stelde aan het volksfeest, zo blijkt uit het proefschrift 'Blije Kermisdagen. Feesten in de Spaanse en de Oostenrijkse Nederlanden (1500-1800)' van Emma D'Haene. Recensent Manon van der Heijden bespreekt het boek. Eindredacteur Mirjam Janssen vertelt over het speciale zomernummer van Historisch Nieuwsblad met het thema familie. Een herkenbaar thema: het zijn verhalen over ruziënde families zoals de Vanderbilts, over de populaire opvoedmethodes van Dr. Spock, maar ook over familietragedies zoals die van Cicero. Als de Romeinse redenaar zijn dochter verliest, is hij lamgeslagen en wil hij niemand meer zien. De uitweg uit zijn verdriet vindt hij in het schrijven van een boekje over troost.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for August 2, 2025 is: palimpsest • PAL-imp-sest • noun Palimpsest in its original use refers to writing material (such as a parchment manuscript) used one or more times after earlier writing has been erased; the underlying text is said to be “in palimpsest.” Palimpsest in extended use refers to something that has usually diverse layers or aspects apparent beneath the surface. // Scholars believe the motive for making palimpsests was often economic—reusing parchment was cheaper than preparing a new skin. // The ancient city is an architectural palimpsest. See the entry > Examples: “My aim was to trace the course of … the Aqua Marcia, built between 144 and 140 B.C. by Julius Caesar's ancestor Quintus Marcius Rex. … The original tuff arches carried the Marcia across a steep ravine. Subsequent retaining walls and buttresses have transformed the bridge into a palimpsest of building styles.” — David Laskin, The New York Times, 24 Apr. 2024 Did you know? Long ago, writing surfaces were so highly valued that they were often used more than once. Palimpsest in its original use referred to an early form of recycling in which an old document was erased to make room for a new one when parchment ran short. (The word is from the Greek palimpsēstos, meaning “scraped again.”) Fortunately for modern scholars, the erasing process wasn't completely effective, so the original could often be distinguished under the newer writing. De republica, by Roman statesman and orator Cicero, is one of many documents recovered from a palimpsest. Nowadays, the word palimpsest can refer not only to such a document but to anything that has multiple layers apparent beneath the surface.

The training room is changing, and it's not going back. In this episode, I sat down with Phil Friedman, the founder and CEO of CGS Inc., to explore how AI, avatars, and immersive simulations are rewriting the playbook on workplace training. With over four decades at the helm of CGS—a company he built from scratch after immigrating to the US—Phil brings a perspective shaped by both technological evolution and global business experience. The heart of our conversation centered on Cicero, CGS's AI-driven platform that blends artificial intelligence with extended reality to create dynamic, real-time role-play simulations. Far from just another e-learning tool, Cicero tackles one of the biggest blind spots in workforce development today: soft skills. From objection handling in medical device sales to flight attendant training and fast-food onboarding, the platform is being used to scale training faster, cheaper, and more effectively than traditional classroom or online methods ever could. What really stood out was how Phil views this as a moment of acceleration rather than disruption. AI isn't here to replace human trainers or eliminate roles; it's a tool that can deepen learning and speed up how people acquire both interpersonal and job-specific skills. In a world where young workers are more comfortable with gaming engines than whiteboards, the immersive, responsive nature of AI-powered simulations offers a natural fit. Phil shared compelling stories from industries like healthcare, aviation, and fast food, where training time has been slashed from months to days. But more than the metrics, it's the idea that training can now adapt in real time, simulate unpredictable human behavior, and offer meaningful feedback immediately that points to where we're headed next. As AI and XR technologies converge, what will it mean when every employee can have a personalized, just-in-time coach at their fingertips?

How well do EMS teams manage critically ill pediatric patients—and how do we know? In this episode of the EMS Educator Podcast, hosts Rob Lawrence and Maia Dorsett speak with Mark Cicero, lead author of a landmark study published in Prehospital Emergency Care. The study used simulation to assess EMS performance in pediatric emergencies. From medication dosing errors to missed fundamentals like cap refill checks, Dr. Cicero breaks down what the study revealed across more than 150 simulations in three states. Dr. Dorsett shares how the findings challenged her own assumptions as an educator and led to reflections on curriculum design, quality improvement, and the need for deliberate, high-frequency pediatric practice. They also explore the power of SIM Box—a free, low-tech, high-impact simulation toolkit—and how small, creative learning opportunities can help EMS clinicians gain confidence, accuracy, and readiness for rare but high-stakes pediatric calls. Whether you're a field provider, educator, or medical director, this episode offers practical insights and real tools to help build a system of pediatric care that's proactive, not reactive. Ginger Locke highlights the episode's key points with her "Mindset Minute."

Welcome to Episode 292 of Lucretius Today. This is a podcast dedicated to the poet Lucretius, who wrote "On The Nature of Things," the most complete presentation of Epicurean philosophy left to us from the ancient world. Each week we walk you through the Epicurean texts, and we discuss how Epicurean philosophy can apply to you today. If you find the Epicurean worldview attractive, we invite you to join us in the study of Epicurus at EpicureanFriends.com, where we discuss this and all of our podcast episodes. This week we continue our series covering Cicero's "Tusculan Disputations" from an Epicurean viewpoint. Today we continue in Part 3, which addresses anger, pity, envy, and other strong emotions. Today we'll continue into Section XVI, where we compare Epicurus' views on dealing with grief to those of other schools. https://www.epicureanfriends.com/thread/4637-episode-292-td22-is-virtue-or-pleasure-the-key-to-overcoming-grief/

Send us a textNothing kicks off summer quite like a deep dive into ice cream preferences and a candid taste test of Lady Gaga's questionable beverage choice. We start with updates on the helicopter "wiener drop" event we'd been anticipating - complete with the unexpected appearance of Bill Murray helping distribute 2,600 hot dogs raining down on a stadium field.We couldn't help but address some genuinely concerning beauty trends currently making rounds on social media. From people using Sharpie markers as lip liner (despite the chemical smell and dermatologists' warnings) to the horrifying practice of "cryo branding" - essentially burning decorative patterns into skin using extreme cold. Our professional advice? Don't put Sharpie on your face, don't brand yourself with ice, and maybe reconsider those discount butt implants that might literally fall out during a workout (as one unfortunate woman discovered and then needed a $85,000 corrective surgery).The heart of our conversation centers around ice cream - its fascinating journey from ancient China to Thomas Jefferson's America, the technical definition requiring at least 10% milk fat (sorry, Dairy Queen!), and our personal preferences from soft serve to sprinkle techniques. Did you know vanilla remains America's favorite flavor, except in Illinois where Moose Tracks reigns supreme? Or that 90% of Americans keep ice cream in their freezers at all times? Between comparing cone versus cup preferences and debating the merits of toppings, we conducted a brave taste test of Lady Gaga's favorite drink: red wine mixed with Diet Coke. The verdict? "They're fighting in this glass" - two flavors that absolutely refuse to blend harmoniously. Try Lady Gaga's peculiar concoction yourself if you're feeling adventurous, but maybe avoid the Sharpie lip liner. Share your thoughts on our taste test or your own ice cream preferences, and join us again next week for more candid conversations and unexpected experiments!Mike Haggerty Buick GMCRight on the corner, right on the price!

Send us a textTwo friends named Nora take listeners on a delightful journey through the quirky side of summer, beginning with a hydration challenge that's led to frequent bathroom breaks and the surprising sacrifice of a beloved afternoon Diet Coke. Their conversation flows naturally from horrifying food innovations (a deep-fried hot dog rolled in Hot Cheetos and Fruity Pebbles, anyone?) to taste-testing blueberry pie Oreos with hilariously mixed reviews.The podcast takes a fascinating turn when they explore recent psychological research on what makes someone "cool." According to a University of Arizona study spanning 12 countries, the six defining traits of coolness are being extroverted, hedonistic, powerful, adventurous, open, and autonomous. This prompts a thoughtful discussion about the distinction between being "cool" and being "good," with research suggesting that while cool kids might rule high school, those with quality friendships tend to fare better in adult life.The hosts share bizarre food trends from around the world, including Germany's booming sausage vending machine industry (with 570,000 machines nationwide) and an upcoming attempt to set a world record by dropping 2,600 packaged hot dogs from a helicopter at a minor league baseball game. Their enthusiasm for attending this "Wiener Drop" perfectly captures their adventurous spirit and friendship dynamic.The main segment delves into barbecue traditions, distinguishing between "grilling" (quick cooking over high heat) and "barbecuing" (slow, indirect heat). They explore regional styles, share statistics about America's grilling habits (86% barbecue on July 4th!), and debate favorite side dishes. The episode wraps with personal "high and low" moments, creating a warm, relatable finale to this summer-themed conversation.Subscribe for weekly episodes where the Noras bring their unique perspective to everyday topics with humor, curiosity, and friendship that feels like you're sitting right at their kitchen table.Mike Haggerty Buick GMCRight on the corner, right on the price!

SLEERICKETS is a podcast about poetry and other intractable problems. NB: Did I forget about Hitler? you ask. Did I forget about Stalin? On the one hand, yes, I temporarily did. On the other, there's something about the notion that Gilles de Rais did all this personally in his own home for the explicit purpose of impressing the Devil with his evilness that really sickens the soul. But yes, good point, there's always Hitler, who was, in his own way, the worst person who ever lived.My book Midlife now exists.

Episode Overview:In this episode of The Catholic Man Show, hosts Adam Minihan and David Niles dive into a lighthearted yet profound discussion about the phrase "killing two birds with one stone," the joys and challenges of high school reunions, and a deep exploration of friendship—both human and divine. The episode centers on John 15:14-15, where Jesus calls His disciples friends, not servants, offering a transformative perspective on what it means to live in communion with Christ. A powerful confession experience ties the conversation together, emphasizing the shift from doing things for God to doing them with Him.Key Discussion Points:Opening Banter (00:00:16 - 00:04:55): Adam and David humorously debate the origins and modern misuse of the phrase "killing two birds with one stone," referencing historical and biblical imagery like David and Goliath, and even a viral video of Nolan Ryan hitting a bird with a baseball.Life Updates (00:05:00 - 00:11:39): David shares his excitement for an upcoming family reunion in Wyoming, while Adam talks about his son Leo's second-place finish in mutton busting at a local rodeo and his anticipation for a 20-year high school reunion, sparking a funny reflection on aging and pride.Sponsorship Spotlight (00:12:00 - 00:13:15): The hosts highlight their long-time sponsor, Select International Tours, encouraging listeners to explore pilgrimage opportunities at selectinternationaltours.com and join their upcoming trip to Italy in October.What We're Drinking (00:13:29 - 00:15:47): Adam and David enjoy The Sassenach, a blended Scotch whiskey with a Gaelic name meaning "outsider" or "stranger." They praise its Highland-like flavor and art deco bottle, likening it to a Mad Men-style decanter.Literature and Reading (00:16:46 - 00:20:43): David discusses reading G.K. Chesterton's Man Alive, recommended by Monsignor Gallus, a Chesterton scholar, and touches on Plato's The Republic. The hosts reflect on Chesterton's whimsical style and the influence of classical works on Christian thought.Main Topic: Friendship with Christ (00:22:08 - 00:58:51):Biblical Foundation: Adam introduces John 15:14-15, where Jesus says, “You are my friends if you keep what I command you. No longer do I call you servants… but I have called you friends.” This passage sets the stage for a discussion on authentic friendship.Philosophical Insights: Drawing from Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics (Books 8-10), the hosts explore his three types of friendship—pleasure, utility, and authentic (virtuous) friendship. Aristotle views authentic friendship as the highest moral achievement, impossible without virtue, as vice renders true friendship unattainable.Christian Perspective: The discussion connects Aristotle's ideas to Christian theology, with references to Augustine, Aquinas, and Cicero. Aquinas describes charity as the highest form of friendship, requiring mutual love, willing the good of the other, and a shared life—mirrored in Christ's relationship with His disciples.Old vs. New Covenant: The hosts contrast the Old Covenant's servanthood (e.g., Abraham obeying without full understanding) with the New Covenant's friendship, where Christ shares divine knowledge, inviting us into intimacy and communion.Confession Insight: Adam shares a transformative moment from confession, where a priest challenged his mentality of doing things for God, urging him to focus on doing things with God. This shift reframes Christian life as a...

Send us a textWhat happens when your entire identity has been scripted? In this captivating conversation with bestselling author Annabelle Monaghan, we dive deep into her fourth novel, "It's a Love Story"!Annabelle reveals how Jennette McCurdy's raw memoir "I'm Glad My Mom Died" sparked her curiosity about teen stars who grow up on camera – young people who spend their formative years being told exactly who to be, what to say, and how to act. This inspiration evolved into Jane, a complex protagonist who emerges from childhood fame with no genuine sense of who she actually is, constantly morphing herself to fit others' expectations.The conversation takes us behind the curtain of Annabelle's writing process as she shares how she crafts characters readers gradually warm to, balances humor with vulnerability, and weaves meaningful philosophy into seemingly light fiction. Her insight that "real love happens over breakfast" – in quiet, everyday moments rather than grand gestures – perfectly captures the novel's authentic approach to relationships.We're also treated to an exclusive preview of Annabelle's upcoming work – a fake dating romance set against the backdrop of Newport mansions that promises all the heart, humor and depth her readers have come to expect. For writers, readers, and anyone fascinated by the intersection of identity, fame, and authenticity, this episode offers both entertainment and insight into how we become who we truly are.Follow Annabelle Monaghan on Instagram to stay connected and be the first to know about her upcoming releases and events.Mike Haggerty Buick GMCRight on the corner, right on the price!

Send us a textGrab your favorite cocktail and join The Noras for a delightful conversation with Western Springs' newest entrepreneur, Amanda Sutter, founder of Jolie dress boutique. Amanda shares her journey from dress enthusiast to shop owner while we sip on custom blackberry lemonade cocktails crafted by The Opry's talented Dan Schovain.The magic of Jolie lies in Amanda's thoughtful approach to fashion retail. With only six pieces of each style available, shoppers enjoy a significantly lower risk of the dreaded "same outfit" encounter. This exclusivity creates such demand that Amanda regularly declines requests for additional inventory, instead focusing on bringing in fresh selections weekly. Her careful curation considers diverse body types, age ranges, and price points while maintaining a distinctive aesthetic that fills a crucial gap in the local shopping landscape.Beyond business strategy, we dive into Amanda's personal life as a mother of two girls and wife to Josh Sutter (of Summer City Adventures fame). Their global family travels surprisingly take a backseat to favorite memories at Hilton Head according to their daughters – a relatable parenting moment that had us laughing. Amanda reveals how opening Jolie has given her children a new perspective on her professional identity after years of remote corporate work, allowing them to witness her entrepreneurial journey from empty storefront to thriving boutique.With homecoming season approaching, Jolie is set to become "homecoming headquarters" by late July, offering local high schoolers a convenient, stylish shopping destination with less risk of duplicate dresses at the big dance. Whether you're shopping for a special occasion or seeking everyday elegance, Amanda's passion for helping women feel confident through fashion shines through in every aspect of her new venture.Follow Jolie on Instagram @joliedressboutique and visit the store at 824 Hillgrove Avenue in downtown Western Springs Tuesday through Friday (10am-6pm) or Saturday (10am-3pm) to experience this fashion gem for yourself!Mike Haggerty Buick GMCRight on the corner, right on the price!

Welcome to Episode 287 of Lucretius Today. This is a podcast dedicated to the poet Lucretius, who wrote "On The Nature of Things," the most complete presentation of Epicurean philosophy left to us from the ancient world. Each week we walk you through the Epicurean texts, and we discuss how Epicurean philosophy can apply to you today. If you find the Epicurean worldview attractive, we invite you to join us in the study of Epicurus at EpicureanFriends.com, where we discuss this and all of our podcast episodes. Today we close in on the ending of Part 2 - "Is Pain An Evil?." Last week we focused on Cicero's argument that all we should face pain "like a man," focusing most of his attention on soldiers and military analogies. This week, Cicero turns his attention to examples of wise men facing pain, and he begins to summarize his argument. We'll pick up with Section XXV.https://www.epicureanfriends.com/thread/4510-episode-287-td17-the-fear-of-pain-is-overrated-but-cicero-and-epicurus-disagree/

Send us a textWhen was the last time you thought deeply about your snacking habits? In our Season 4 premiere, we're unwrapping the surprisingly complex world of between-meal munching, from nostalgic childhood favorites to our current cravings.The Noras kick things off with a fascinating productivity hack called the "one-minute rule" that's transforming how we tackle those small daily tasks. Then, prepare your taste buds as we conduct a live taste test of Selena Gomez's Oreo collaboration (spoiler: they taste like chocolate-filled churros and might be the best celebrity snack collab we've ever tried).The heart of their conversation explores a cultural shift we've noticed: kids today seem to snack constantly, while many of us grew up with strictly defined snack times. This observation leads them down memory lane, examining how those childhood patterns still influence their adult cravings. Why do so many of us still get that fierce afternoon "snack attack" around 3:30pm? And why do certain snacks absolutely demand specific beverage pairings? (Pretzels without Diet Coke? Unthinkable!)They then dive into controversial snack opinions (corn nuts receive particular disdain), debate the merits of beef sticks, and share our favorite local spots for satisfying those cravings. From regional specialties across America to the perfect soft cookie with iced tea, this episode celebrates how these small food moments connect to our identities, memories, and daily rhythms.Whether you're a dedicated healthy snacker or someone who occasionally indulges in those chemical-laden treats from childhood, you'll find yourself nodding along—and probably getting hungry. Join the Noras for this fun, food-focused conversation that might just change how you think about your pantry staples.Don't forget to follow our Instagram for teasers about our upcoming Night Cap with the Noras Episode!Mike Haggerty Buick GMCRight on the corner, right on the price!

“Lewis was always engaging with some important piece of literature from the past,” says historian and classicist Emily Allen-Hornblower in this episode of The World in Time, edited from audio recorded at the memorial service held for Lewis H. Lapham in September 2024. “You can be chatting about the insanity of the current political landscape and quickly things would shift to how history repeats itself, how humanity simply does not learn. And Thucydides or Cicero would rear their heads. To quote Cicero, ‘To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child. For what is the worth of human life, unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of history?' Lewis understood that without the past, we lose the ability to think productively or even understand the present. He made himself a warrior for the humanities, putting up a splendid fight on behalf of the arts and letters. 'Til the end.” In this second of two episodes this week, we are joined once again by Lewis, first in the tributes and remembrances of his friends and colleagues and then in his own voice. Public Theater artistic director Oskar Eustis introduces the proceedings. Former Harper's Magazine literary editor Ben Metcalf recalls Lapham the mentor. Emily Allen-Hornblower reads from Homer and Baudelaire. Actor Alec Baldwin reads Mark Twain's essay “At the Funeral.” Actor Christopher Lloyd performs Prospero's epilogue from Shakespeare's The Tempest. Producer and director Sandy Gotham Meehan shares a letter by Flaubert. In audio from our archives, Lewis Lapham reads from “'Round Midnight,” his preamble to Music, the Fall 2017 issue of Lapham's Quarterly.
