Hey there, it's Scott Bertram, host of the Radio Free Hillsdale Hour. What's happening this

week? Well, we've got Dr. Alan Gelzo with us, one of our favorite guests, talking about the

unique character of Western civilization because he's co-authored a massive two-part book series,

The Golden Thread, A History of the Western

Tradition in-depth this week with Alan Gelzo.

And a little fun with Michael P. Foley, a mixologist and professor in the great text

program at Baylor.

He'll talk about his collection of alcohol-free and low-alcohol cocktails based on the lives of Catholic

Saints, his book, Obstaining with the Saints, no and low-alcohol beverages for sober souls.

All that this week on the radio-free Hillsdale Hour.

Welcome to the Hillsdale College Online Courses podcast.

I'm Juan Davalos, and we are back with another break on our regularly scheduled show of giving you some online courses.

Because we recently had Sean McMeekin come to campus.

You may know, Sean McMeekin is one of the professors in our course, Marxism, Socialism, and Communism.

It is a recent documentary course that features several of our professors here at the college,

and Sean McMeekin was one of them. But we also wanted to talk to him about his new book,

to overthrow the world, the rise and fall and rise of communism.

So now we're gonna go ahead and turn to Jeremiah

and Dr. McMeakin as they discuss communism in his new book.

Hello, I'm Jeremiah Regan, executive director

of Hillsdale College Online Courses.
