CiRCE Institute's Annual Conference CD Set:

I've only listened to Anthony Esolen's session on humour. He uses three examples: The Honeymooners, St. Francis of Assisi and Nick Bottom from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Nights Dream. Quite a combination, isn't it? But that CD alone is worth the cost of the set (FYI: this is wrongly listed as What is Classical Education? The individual CD code is CD200803.)
