In this episode of Godward Podcast, we learn why eye-contact is so interesting, and what it has to do with social status -- and we learn of the psychology of depression and anxiety, although I don't like to use those labels. Dostoevsky seems to pull a trick on unwary readers, and shows them that the sad sack anti-hero main character of "Notes from Underground" may not be very different from most of us. In fact, he might be just a little more honest.

In this harrowing but visually stimulating video, get your quick summary of one of the great Ancient Greek dramas and a huge dose of art history. You'll hear about Agamemnon, the Libation Bearers, and the Eumenides, and hopefully you'll figure out a way to interpret the role of the furies as extremely annoying but maybe a little bit necessary, as long as we remember that God is God.

In this conspiratorial video, learn about the historian Sallust and his two works, The Catiline Conspiracy and The Jugurthine War -- see a great painting by Rogier Van Der Weyden, which I had intended to compare favorably to the Mona Lisa but chickened out. Hear a quote from a PhD who gives you the green-light on doing some light conspiracy theorizing. Seriously, for those of you who are hearing me, this one should really start to help it click... we're back in 64-63 B.C., but as Brian G says, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
