Polymaths and Stargazers
Episode One
Welcome to the first episode of the Ought I podcast!
I’m delighted to have the brilliant and lovely writer, Freya Laidlow-Petersen, as our first guest. Freya and I talk about two of her excellent essays: “A Polymath Renaissance” and “Stargazing with C.S. Lewis”. Our conversation explores topics ranging from polymaths to education and artificial intelligence, God and eros, and stargazing from the medieval perspective. I hope you enjoy and thank you for listening.
You can learn more about Freya in her bio below and by visiting her Substack newsletter The Mendicant.
