Summary

In a podcast series that is, so far, all about discussing books and essays, I made an episode where I read an essay live and comment on it as I read. A little experiment. An unrehearsed rereading of an essay that I first read years ago by Ralph Waldo Emerson, an American transcendentalist. The essay is about how all the greats were great because they thought for themselves, they were self-reliant, independent thinkers. It was a great read for me when I first read it in my mid-twenties. Hope you may find it interesting also. Another long episode, but if it seems too long perhaps you could divide it up into 2 one hour sections. This essay is in the public domain and is available to read online for free.If you like this episode, or any other episodes, and would like to show support or appreciation, then you could buy me a drink over on Patreon, just search Oralotium there, cheers ✌️🙏 follow on Instagram: Oralotium Hosted on Acast.
