Episode description
Michial Farmer moderates a discussion with Nathan Gilmour and David Grubbs about the long legacy of Carpe Diem. We get into the history, ideology, and human condition that makes sense of it, and we offer criticisms along the way. Among the texts, authors, and other artifacts discussed are Horace, Epicurus, Ecclesiastes, Thoreau, Herrick, Marvell, Carmina Burana, Bede, Dead Poets' Society, and Glee! (Yes, Gilmour watches Glee.)
