In episode 102, we chat about raising teenagers, weaponizing germ theory, our pertussis experience, our Spring harvest classes, and the Liturgy of the Land conference.

In episode 103, we discuss the seeming contradiction of Pleasure, ‘becoming goods’, sensitive appetites vs. intellectual delights, the four ends of manual labor, how agriculture is particularly suited to these four ends, and the duties of our state in life.
