  • RLP Replay: What's So Good About Good Friday?
    Mar 30 2024

    As we continue recovering from being under the weather, we bring you one of our Easter favorites. On this holiday episode of Red Letter Philosophy we ask the question, what's so good about Good Friday? We also discuss the frame or boundary that is Holy Week. In the words of Peter Kreeft, "it takes boundaries to make anything interesting. If a picture didn't have a frame, it would trail off into vague, boring everything-ness. Life's most dramatic moments are her two frames: entrance and exit, beginning and end, birth and death."

  • RLP Replay: The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde
    Mar 17 2024

    This St. Patrick's Day finds us under the weather. Rather than miss the day, we offer/bring one of our St Patrick's Day favorites. Is St. Patrick's Day a celebration of the Irish; Irish history, Irish storytelling, Ireland herself, or is St. Patrick's Day a celebration of a saint and of the one who molded the saint? We couldn't decide. So, on this episode we offer you both one of Ireland's finest sons and her greatest saint. We offer for your listening pleasure The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde.
