I was having a drink with my dad the other day and he said,

your show is basically,

we're reading Homer and Screw You.

By which I think he meant,

like, you know, we're reading Homer

and screw all of the identity politics crazy,

screw all the liberal feminism and so forth.

So that's gonna be the unofficial tagline for this podcast.

And in this case, it's, we're reading Plato and Screw You.

I will now also say once more,

please do subscribe wherever you get your podcast to this show.

It's hugely helpful when you leave a five star review on iTunes

or at the very least it's helpful when you keep your bad opinions to yourself.

The thing about these texts, right,

is that there is so much to dig into.

And in this case, we have Plato's symposium,

which is a piece of text that I did with Michael Nulls on his book club show.

And that episode's coming out soon.

It's gonna have stuff in it that isn't here.

You should go and watch that when it comes out.

It's gonna be really cool. We had a great chat.

But that's a half hour long.
