Do you want me to talk or write about anything? Pitch me some ideas!
Pick 3 Plato Dialogues and 3 books of Aristotle that are must reads.

I got a copy of Aristotle’s metaphysics and “An Introduction to the Metaphysics of St. Thomas Aquinas” for Christmas. I plan to tear into those in the near future because I want to know more about metaphysics.
Therefore, I propose that you write or podcast about metaphysics. I’ve definitely listened to more of your stuff than I have read, so I don’t know if you’ve already written extensively on metaphysics. I know plenty of podcasts episodes you’ve done have swirled around metaphysics, especially when talking about St. Thomas. But perhaps even more metaphysics could be fun.
If that sounds awful or boring to you, I would be interested to hear more of your thoughts on Church/religious stuff. Some of the Church Fathers are really great fun (and pretty good philosophy in my layman’s opinion).

I would love to read about the ancient languages, how to learn them and what things to read. Latin usually you get pointed to the Romans, but what about the Church’s Treasury of texts? Is reading in the original language better than translation? Can translations properly catch the spirit of the works?

Make Continentals Understandable Again. (MCUA??? how would you even say that?) I enjoy what you write or say about continentals as they often remain elusive to me.
Without asking you to say what should be seen, I always appreciate book, blog, or podcast recommendations. Lifting to Aquinas to Lipids.

I’ve struggled to understand Plato’s forms and Aristotle’s causes. I have a very low level grasp of a few of them but not much. I’ve read a bit of Plato and only the first chapter of Aristotle’s Politics.
All that to say, an intro to the forms and the causes would be a really interesting podcast or blog. If I missed where you already talked about I’m sorry.
