Welcome to the Thinking Fellows podcast. We are still in Germany. If you listened to the show a couple weeks back probably from this, we had...

Well, now it has to be. Well, now it has to be. Well, not always. I've done this in the past. The listeners are used to the time discrepancy between recording and listening at this point. I'm still not,

but go ahead. But we had Dr. Colb and Dr. Cumanetto on to talk about Two Kingdoms, which was a great

addition to clarify some of the things from our earlier Two Kingdoms episode that we had a lot

of questions about before and to have some more expertise in the

room on the subject? We've been able to do that with two episodes because we did the episode on

the bondage of the will that I thought we covered fairly well and that we got some feedback

that there needed to be more coverage. So we had Dr. Nestigan on and he, wow, he knocked it out of the park on his show.

And two, two kingdoms, two realms and vocation was another one where people wanted more clarification

and to have Dr. Cimino on, my friend Ova and Dr. Colb, that was wonderful too.

So I'm glad we're able to do this.

No, it's fantastic.

And today we have, I think, a really important topic.

We talked at the beginning of our apologetics series about how we didn't do a proper introduction to the Locha Communes when we started doing

the topics.

And part of that was because in order to get the show going, we wanted to jump into the

real meat of the thing so that listeners could have topics to hold on to instead of five weeks of introduction and get bored with the show.

But now that we can come back to that, now that we have a listener base who wants to understand more about the background of why we did the topics the way we did in the beginning of the show,

today we're going to have you and Dr. Cole discuss the Lochi Communes

and kind of the background of that, why Malenkin did things the way he did, or at least as much as you guys know.

Yeah, and like you said, we kind of learned our lesson when we went into apologetics.

I mean...
