How to Listen to and Understand Great Music, 3rd ed.
Omg this is so exciting. I clearly remember listening to the CD box set religiously. www.openculture.com/2026/04/reco...
Heard in one lecture parts of Beethoven’s 9th and 5th, Handel’s Water Music, something from Bach I can’t remember the name of, and losing myself in appreciating classical music for an hour while running is pure bliss.
Answer: YES you can gift to South Korea and it’ll work on Android. You’ll just be charged in US$ is the only wrinkle. I hope that helps and your friend enjoys it!
Lemme ask my Marketing and IT teams tomorrow. I’ll let you know. We definitely sell individual courses to South Korea, so I assume you can gift subs there, but I want to make sure on Android.
Just started listening this for the first time in several years and am loving it. I need much more medieval and plainchant music in my life, I think.

Amazing discovery and another piece in the piece of Shakespeare’s puzzle solved. apnews.com/article/shak...
Oh, this shall be mine.
There’s a religious retirement community in Bruges in continuous operation for nearly 800 years. Imagine the ghosts shuffling thru there and the stories those walls could tell www.visitbruges.be/en/things-to...
Happy Jackie Robinson Day to all who celebrate!
Btw I was listening to this sometime-creepy course when I was running thru a cemetery and captured my creepiest wildlife photo ever. Like, how???
Folks, let’s help bring home a Telly. This was such a fun and fascinating course.
I know im getting old when medieval coins are exciting to me, but here we are. www.bbc.com/news/article...
I had precious little knowledge of Bach before listening to that one, and loved it, too.
He’s recording Great Tours: Music Masters of Vienna right now based on the trip he leads. So much Mozart, Beethoven, and Strauss!
A bonkers stat: Tomorrow, Robert Greenberg will record his 700th Great Courses lecture! It’s an absolutely mind-boggling number.
all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant
I learned that Dali was obsessed with the landscape background of the Mona Lisa and “quoted” it in some paintings. He was so inventive that it’s amazing to me he found inspiration in Leonardo.
For all the different courses she’s taught, she’s expert in Arthuriana. Her passion for it really shines thru here.
Just finished Dorsey Armstrong’s Great Courses - King Arthur:History and Legend - she’s a great lecturer
Galileo was so proud of being from the same town (Florence) as Michelangelo that he claimed a kind of cosmic connection by telling people he was born the same day Michelangelo died (he was actually born 3 days prior) in 1564.
Warriors, Queens, & Intellectuals! I love that one.
💯
Good question! It’s a mix of demonstrated teaching excellence, expertise on a course topic we’re looking for, and an engaging on-camera presence (plus some other things, but that covers a lot of it).
I love this so much. Made my whole team’s day ❤️
