EP5: Heroes in an Age of Anti-Heroes

On this episode we explore the rise of the anti-hero and how to recover our sense of heroic (and why it matters). We'll touch on anti-heroes like Mad Men's Don Draper and explore in depth the great literary heroine, Jo March. Finally, a note on why sainthood doesn't mean perfection and why St. Joseph is the inspiration we need in 2021.
