As of today, podcast transcripts are free to all, paid subscribers or not. This is my gift to you. There’s a Transcript button to read it, but you will have to click to read this post on my site to see it, unfortunately. I will be investigating this.
It’s still a good idea to become a paid subscriber though, because you get exclusive content, commenting privileges, and access to my knowledge base.
I’m delighted to have as my first fully free episode Dr. Anthony Bradley. He’s a research professor at Kuyper College and research fellow at the Acton Institute.
One thing I appreciate about Bradley is that he’s impossible to pigeonhole. He’s one of the few people who is an independent thinker and isn’t just repeating a party line. This means you’ll almost certainly be in violent agreement with some of what he says - and also passionate about disagreeing with other parts. Which one is which, of course, depends on the person.
I really find Bradley’s takes on men and masculinity in America today to be insightful and helpful. So I hope you enjoy this wide ranging conversation on the topic.
Don’t forget, commenting is free to everyone this week so please try it out by sharing your thoughts on this conversation.
Buy Anthony Bradley’s book Heroic Fraternities: How College Men Can Save Universities and America.
Read his article in Mere Orthodoxy about how American Evangelicalism isn’t patriarchal or feminized. It’s matrilineal.
