Here's your host, Scott Bertram.

Hello again, everybody, and welcome in to another edition

College about the Constitution and the college's new Constitution 101 online course. R.R. R.R.

R. Rina was with us to discuss his brand new book, Return of the Strong Gods.

Matt Guy Tano from Hillsdale's History Department will join us to talk about Petrarch.

And Bart Spieth, the rangemaster for the Halter Shooting Sports Center on Hillsdale College's campus,

has a big announcement to share about the facility.

We're joined now by Dr. Ronald Pistrito.

He's dean at the Van Andel Graduate School of Statesmanship at Hillsdale College,

Professor of Politics, Charles and Lucia Shipley Chair in the American Constitution as well.

Dr. Pistrito, thanks for joining us.

Happy to be here.

Thanks for having me. We are discussing today a new offering on the online

courses, which people can find it online.hillsdale.edu. It's an update to our Constitution

101 series, which again you can find on the web and enroll and take those classes. Dr. Pastrido

teaches three of the classes offered in Constitution 101. We'll talk about those in a moment.

But the big question, why should people go sign up?

Why should people do it?

Why should we study the Constitution?

Well, one sad fact there is it's not done very much anymore.
