In this episode, Dr. John Patrick examines the erosion of virtue and cultural stability in the modern West. Drawing on Dorothy Sayers, James Hankins, and Terry Eagleton, he examines how societies flourish through rooted values, moral education, and a reverence for history. Dr. Patrick reflects on England’s current cultural tensions, the importance of freedom of speech, and the perils of utopian ideologies divorced from historical wisdom. He also highlights a growing hunger for meaning among young people—particularly young men—who are rediscovering the richness of faith, literature, and moral tradition. This episode challenges listeners to nurture virtue, recover historical literacy, and engage in conversations that restore depth and purpose to public life.
