  • Don't give up!

    A pity that this brilliant Classics podcast seems already to have run its very short course... I hope that the two contributors will rediscover their initial enthusiasm and / or that Hat Trick will continue to support them!

  • Can’t wait for more

    The problem with starting to listen to a podcast when it’s new is that you can’t binge it! Hopefully there will be more discussions about ancient philosophy and temperance to help me out

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Narcissus
Q: So what do you think Ovid was trying to tell us?
What Ovid tells us is that self-love taken to an extreme is destructive, highlighted by the story of Narcissus who rejected lovers and ultimately died from his self-love.
Narcissus
Q: Do you think we're living through a period where narcissism, I mean, apparently narcissism is on the rise?
Yes, I've had a thought that the disorder is much more common in a way in the modern world, where everyone has the opportunity to be someone and to be seen and to be central to the world.
Plato
Q: What is Platonic Love?
Platonic Love is when you have the possibility of actually having sex with someone, but you choose not to.
