The Solutionists, with Mark ScottTurning pages, changing lives – How the humanities teach us to live in uncertain timesWhen Sophie Gee’s husband was suddenly rushed to hospital, her life was plunged into uncertainty. Amid the chaos, she discovered a surprising source of strength: her study of classic literature, and in particular, the works of Jane Austen. Sophie, who was Associate Chair of the English Department at Princeton until she came to the University of Sydney as a Vice-Chancellor's Fellow, says stories have made her more resilient. “Literature teaches us how to be uncertain, how to tolerate discomfort, how to tolerate difficulty,” she says. Arts and humanities degrees sometimes get a bad rap, b...2024-04-3028 minHistory & Factoids about todaySept 6th-David Allan Coe, Pink Floyd, Jeff Foxworthy, Mark Chesnutt, Rosie Perez, The CranberriesNational fight procrastination day.

It's not just the end of a book - it's the end of an era as we close out the first two years and one hundred episodes of Unwise Girls! Join us in our chapter discussions as we talk about rational self interest, the differences between Percy and Annabeth's views of the gods, grounding yourself in the status quo, goofy ass villains, friendship guy, Coach Hedge getting hit with the dodgeball of Apollo, a very merry Festus Sweep, and our overall thoughts on the Mark of Athena. After that, we have...2023-02-101h 32Unwise Girls99: Wonder Bread and CircusesThe Mark of Athena, ch. 45 to 48

Okay... so, this week on Unwise Girls, I guess we talk about who the Leo of the podcast is, the return of Buford, seaweed brain moments, the entire ship doomscrolling to cope, Rick communicating hardship through stereotype, the normalization of dismissing kids' thoughts and fears, mythological hotness standards, and... and... oh god okay no I can't hold it back anymore. We mostly just talk about the Civil War stuff. There's a lot of Civil War stuff. Strap in.
