About

Classical Stuff You Should Know is a podcast about the classical world. We discuss literature, philosophy, history, art, the soul of man, and education, all within the framework of a classical, Christian worldview. Our aim is to aid both educators and laymen alike as they delve into the classical world. Need help with Dante? We've got you. Confused by Homer? We're here. Been thinking about architecture lately? So have we. 

Graeme Donaldson has been sneaking literature into the minds of students since 2011. He watches Project Runway with his wife Amanda, who wears kimonos (she insists they are yukatas, or "summer kimonos") at home. Still Canadian at heart, Graeme watches hockey when he isn't reading. 

A.J. Hanenburg has been an educator since 2009 at Veritas Academy Austin. He's taught a little of everything: from the foundations of literature to rock climbing to improv. He’s also suspicious of beds, desks, and other self-important furniture. In the summer, he builds furniture with his dad.

Thomas Magbee, formerly the Dean of Student Life at Veritas, now employs his masters in data analytics catching fraudsters. He has a passion for books; pretentious movies; his two sons; and his wife, the lovely Sarah “Queen Bee” Magbee.
