One drawback to being busy at work is I have been able neither to post much nor even to listen to the podcasts I like. Now that my schedule is evening out, I am able to fit them in again.

Philosophy in Action – This week Dr. Diana Hsieh talks about evolution’s ethical implications, body image, studying theology and more.

Peikoff.com: Episode 315 – This week Yaron Brook answers questions on Bitcoin, inflation from Quantitative Easing, China, and more.

I am also making an effort to spend time each day listening to and working through where appropriate a number of lectures I have downloaded from the Ayn Rand E-Store. There are a great many interesting talks that look at issues from an objectivist point of view.

Religion in America by Dr. Eric Daniels – I just bought this one on Saturday. I am looking forward to listening to it as I really enjoy all the previous talks I have by Dr. Daniels.

Introduction to Logic by Dr. Leonard Peikoff – I have had this one for awhile but I am finally working through it and doing to “homework” exercises that go with it. It is pretty fascinating stuff so far.

Principles of Grammar by Dr. Leonard Peikoff – I am learning a lot from this lecture series that I don’t recall ever having learned in high school or college. I never thought at my age I would be doing grammar homework. My goal is to improve my writing in general but especially here on the blog. In the first part of this series where an out-of-print grammar textbook was mentioned, Writing and Thinking: A Handbook of Composition and Revision. When I first listened to the lecture, the book was not available but this time around I found it listed on Amazon. A little pricey maybe, but definitely worth it.
