Dear Professor Hanson,
This was so episode was so enjoyable. I have followed you for years due to Rush Limbaugh’s referral to your columns at National Review. I had discovered my conservatism I the early 90’s when I found Rush on the radio. All the references to Shelby Steel, Christopher Hitchens, Thomas Sowell, Mark Levin, were all very educational. I miss Rush, if I listened to his show I was informed for the day.
Sincerely,

Today’s show prompted me to sign up and to comment. Thanks for your remarks about Reedley College. My father taught there in the ’70s and ’80s. I always appreciate your portraits of life in the Central Valley, where I grew up on a farm in the area (at one point we even planted eucaplytus trees for firewood). Above all, I enjoy the sanity you bring to punditry, especially through the lens of the classics.
Best,
James Hageman

Thank you for this engaging intellectual archeology. It’s a great companion to the podcast on influential classicists. It’s important for those who are a good stretch younger to hear about the key players of even a decade back and the past arguments that shape the thought of current figures.

Thanks. VDH. This episode brought more nostalgia than usual, because my father taught at Reedley College (later KRCC) in the late ’60s and through the ’70s, and I grew up in circumstances somewhat like your own. I greatly appreciate your presence in media, and always look forward to the sanity you bring to contemporary events, seen through the lens of the classics.
