Hello friends,
Episode 4 of the Athenaeum Podcast is now live!
This time, it’s a deep dive into Defenders of the West — the astonishing stories of the men who stood against the tides that threatened to erase Christian Europe.
Jeremy sits down with Raymond Ibrahim to walk through the history together, spotlight the heroes, and dig into why their courage still matters today.
You can now watch it for free on Substack, or here on YouTube if you prefer.
Enjoy!
