The Annotated Mind
🎙 The Annotated Mind—where literature, philosophy, and history intertwine to explore the way we think, learn, and live.
Hosted by Cinzia DuBois, a Classicist and bookish storyteller, this podcast delves into the wisdom found in ancient texts, philosophical musings, and the literary echoes of the past. From the psychology of reading to the forgotten ideas that shaped history, The Annotated Mind is a space for the intellectually curious, the over thinkers, and those who find solace in the margins of well-worn pages.
Expect deep dives into philosophy, history, and literature—annotated with personal insights and reflections on the modern world.
📖 Because the best ideas aren’t just read—they’re lived.
