Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode, Alex takes the mic on the road, hosting a special panel on the late David Bolotin and the recently released volume On Plato's Republic: The 1988 Lecture Notes, which preserves Bolotin's notes and was coedited by Alex and Paul Diduch. Joined by Louis Slawsky, Nasser Behnegar, Peter J. Hansen, Paul Ulrich, Joshua Parens, Paul Diduch, and Travis Mulroy, the group reflect above all on Bolotin himself: his presence in the classroom, his precision as a reader, and the lasting impression he made as a teacher. The book gives the panel its occasion, but Bolotin remains its real subject.
