I was pleased a couple of weeks ago to see that my new course for the Great Courses (formerly called the Teaching Company; now called Wondrium [??]) “The Triumph of Christianity” has now seen the light of published day.

I don’t mean mine – I mean in general. I’ve watched a ton of them, on Classical music, astronomy, psychology, neurology, Roman history, and and and. They get really fine lecturers (except for the ones they hired a long time ago) (not to name names) and all but one course I’ve seen has been superb. Read by Petra Ortiz
