The BOOKS AND LETTERS Podcast explores the fullness of what it means to live as a steward of words in the modern world, an age dominated by fleeting trends and digital noise. Western culture is fragmented, transient, and untethered from that historic relationship that existed in conversation between faith, culture, and creativity. It was once known as the Great Conversation, but now we lack a realized sensus communis to the degree that rational public discourse is nearly impossible.The BOOKS AND LETTERS podcast is an attempt to participate in the noble tradition of that Great Conversation and help recover its legacy. Whether we are grappling with the works of modern writers like G. K. Chesterton, C. S.
