Ep. 082 - A Magnus Webinar: The Nun’s Priest’s Tale of Chanticleer and the Fox
Magnus Podcast: Conversations from the Catacombs of Liberal Education
Earlier this spring, we hosted a lovely webinar on one of the most playful of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, ”The Nun’s Priest’s Tale of Chanticleer and the Fox.” Now we’re releasing it as a podcast so you too can enjoy it! Listen as Dr. Shannon Valenzuela of UD guides us through this delightful introduction to the poet’s quirky (and sometimes shocking) combination of the modes of ”ernest and game.” Combining barnyard antics with a serious exploration of the purpose of storytelling and approaches to reading, this animal fable is a perfect springtime medley of high spirits and seriousness.

About Podcast
Like the early philosophers and theologians before us, we are seeking to nourish our souls, discover the truth, and live in the world, but not of it.
Welcome to the Magnus Podcast where John Johnson and Larissa Bianco hope to connect contemporary thinkers to conversations from the catacombs in the classical, Christian tradition before us.
The Magnus Podcast is a production of the Albertus Magnus Institute, Inc. Dedicated to the promotion of another sort of learning, the Albertus Magnus Institute seeks to invite all into the truth, ”Omnes ad Veritatem.”
