Every week, Hillsdale College President Larry Arne joins Hugh Hewitt to discuss great books,

great men, and great ideas. This is Hillsdale Dialogues, part of the Hillsdale College

Podcast Network. More episodes at podcast.com.hillsdale.org, or wherever you find your audio.

Good morning, glory and evening grace, America. I'm Hugh, and that music means it's the last

radio hour of the week. My guest is Dr. Larry Arne,

president of Hillsdale College, as he is, most Fridays at 3 p.m. in the west and noon. I guess it's

conversation? Well, I love that guy.

I've gotten to know him pretty well.

I've had dinner with him several times.

And he's a force of nature.

I listen to his Sunday sermon every Sunday because he posted on Saturday.

He's a very learned man.

And, yeah, he's a gift.

He's an important guy.
