"Whither the Looniversity?" - Ep. 11 - Dr. Alex Petkas (Ancient Life Coach), Former Prof., Classics

Dr. Alex Petkas received his PhD in Classics from Princeton. His research interests include Greek literature, rhetoric, epistemology, and ethics. He recently resigned a tenure-track professorship, due in part to disenchantment with the DEI revolution in higher education. Alex has a number of scholarly publications. Known online as "Ancient Life Coach," Petkas is also host of the Cost of Glory podcast, which retells the lives of heroic figures from antiquity. We talk about the state of Classics as a scholarly discipline, his decision to leave academia, and his current projects.

Alex's Cost of Glory rekindled my interest in the ancient world.

I am enjoying your interviews but can you please fix your audio issues? The volume is often erratic and/or unequalized. In this interview, Petkas is 3X louder than you.
