Wheaton College Core Book Podcast

The Core Book Podcast has been created to provide accompaniment, community, and nerdy-joy to readers of Wheaton College’s Core Book. Core Book is Wheaton’s community reading program associated with our Christ at the Core curriculum. Each year, we select a book and invite students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents, neighbors near and far—all communities associated with the college—to join in. Believing that we read better in community, we create materials to support readers and plan scholarly and creative events to bring readers together. Find more information at https://www.wheaton.edu/core-book/. The podcast is hosted by Dr. Tiffany Eberle Kriner, Associate Professor of English. She is joined in this first season by Dr. Benjamin Weber, Associate Professor of English, and Dr. Alexander Loney, Associate Professor of Modern and Classical Languages, for a 10 episode read through of the 2024-2025 Core Book, Homer’s Odyssey. This podcast is a production of the Core Book program at Wheaton College in partnership with the Aequitas Fellows Program in Public Humanities and Arts. Aequitas PHA is a creative studio and scholarship program that brings together four-year cohorts of undergraduate student artists, theater makers, musicians, writers, and scholarly nerds to build publicly engaged projects in the humanities and arts. Do you have questions about The Odyssey that you’d like the Core Book Podcast to consider? Send your questions to core.studies@wheaton.edu by December 1, and we’ll consider them for our question and response episode, the last of our season.
