Young Heretics is a new podcast about Western cultural life and achievement hosted by Spencer Klavan. Spencer is the assistant editor of the Claremont Review of Books and The American Mind–this is a passion project of his in which he endeavors to offer listeners culture without the culture wars.
"The point of Young Heretics is to dispense with the nonsense of identity politics and critical 'Theory' and just enjoy the riches of more than 3,000 years of Western history and culture," said Spencer. "I'm delighted to bring this show and these classic texts to a new audience. And I really hope to get that new audience excited about the Claremont Institute in the process."
“Spencer is the best kind of heretic, inveighing against the drab ideology and idiotic dogmatism of post-modernity," said Claremont Institute President Ryan Williams. "Listen to Young Heretics and join the revolution for the noble and the good!”
Every week Spencer and guests will release a 30-minute episode dealing with one great work of literature, philosophy, history, or music from the Western tradition. We invite you to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts and leave a five-star review on iTunes–the first episode, on Homer's Iliad, can be downloaded here.
