Hello everyone, and welcome to Speaking with Joy, a podcast to fill your soul, challenge your mind,

and make you brave. I'm your host, Joy Clarkson, and an evangelist for all things good, true, and beautiful.

So make yourself a cup of tea, find somewhere comfortable, and let's dive in to this week's episode.

Hello everyone and welcome back to Speaking with joy. Today I have the great pleasure of having a friend and University of St. Andrew's colleague, Oliver B. Langworthy, with me today on the show. Welcome, Oliver. Thank you, Joy. It's important that you know the B, because if you want to find his work, Google Oliver B. Langworthy.

That's right. Despite everything, I'm not the only Oliver Langworthy.

I know, which is really remarkable because that seems like a very unique name.

That's what I thought.

But you are neither a 300-year-dead. Do you know what he was?

American.

American. Beyond that, I have no idea.

So he's just an American, just famous for being American.

Or 15-year-old UK citizen?

Correct.

Great. Well, anyway, I'm very happy to have Oliver B. Langworth with me today on the show.

And we are going to be talking about Macrina Gorgorgia, and, who's our final person?

Oh, there's many more than that.

Oh, good.

We have two families alike and honor who we want to discuss here.

Both of them, mothers, sisters, and potentially wives of the Cappadocian fathers.

So we'll be covering Theosibia, Amelia, Macrina the Younger, Macrina the Elder, Gorgonia, and Nona.

Oh my goodness, I'm so excited. So many of you, if you've listened for a while, you will know that I have featured McRena the Younger twice on both on the main podcast and then on the Patreon secret podcast because she's been kind of a,

an inspirational figure for me.
