Current lecture is about Aristophanes' The Clouds as giving us a Presocratic Socrates

Robert C. Bartlett if great fun listening to, he gives ancient comedy respect, not the usual tragedy is more profound kind of mentality, I have 2 editions of Aristophanes, so i'll be putting this in the reading mix, ... yes I made dad sad this afternoon, I came down saying my usual "Is it ok if I listen to my books?" but then when I sit down he goes on and on talking non-stop, so I showed him this and he suddenly is quiet and obscuring the side of his face that is facing me. Poor guy, but he can't stand what I'm interested in either.
