Join our warm conversation with the Associate Dean of the Bellarmine College of Conservative oops I mean College of Liberal Arts, Dr. Brad Elliott Stone, Ph.D, on the shift he made from full tenured Professor to Administration, why he made the shift (is it really more money ?) on the goal of reducing unproductive, expensive Administrative Bloat, and how his backstory growing up on a farm in rural, small town Kentucky shaped him as a person, a professor and as an administrator.

Brad shares with us what helps keep him sane (he has a piano in his office, and can play), how he developed a love of books and a respect for languages early on in life (and how that helped him while living and studying in Europe), whether they had guns in Kentucky (I had to ask) and what for and what rural life was like for him there, including the special role his brother played as his childhood companion, and more besides !

These intriguing and delightful snapshots into Dr. Stone are integrated into a compelling whole picture of how he uniquely approaches life as a professor-turned-Administrator.

For instance, what if anything can the faculty do to save the Academy from being reduced to the Higher Educational Industrial Complex (as it were) ? Can anything be done as an Administrator/Educator to make the Academy more healthy , more true to its high calling?

Bellarmine College of Conservative Arts is at my (Dr. Mather’s) alma mater, Loyola Marymount University in Lost Angeles, California, where I myself taught for over a decade as well.

Join our warm conversation with our distinguished guest, the Salvatori Professor of American Constitutionalism at Claremont McKenna College, part of The Claremont Colleges Consortium, Dr. Ralph Rossum, Ph.D. Professor Rossum taught the American Founding with the late Antonin Scalia, and has a best-selling two-volume Constitutional Law textbook called American Constitutional Law (with Alan Tarr) which is in its at least 11th Edition as of this recording.

We discuss his powerful book “Federalism, the Supreme Court, and the Seventeenth Amendment: The Irony of Constitutional Democracy” which is available at your local book dealer.

Dr. Rossum also takes some time to recount a few charming anecdotes of Antonin Scalia and of his supervisor at the University of Chicago, the late scholar of the American Founding (especially the Anti-Federalists), Dr. Herbert J. Storing, Ph.D.

Join our warm conversation with USMC infantry (Iraq) veteran Matthew Kirby, who brings his Seminary training to bear on today’s discussion which is Christians and Gun Control. We take a look at “God, Guns, and America” written by Dr. Mike Austin who graduated from the same Seminary that Matt and I did. But Austin’s conclusions are drastically at odds with our own, and we discuss how that could be, and is, so. The basic difference is: some Christians have no compunction criminalizing innocent conduct like genuine self-defense, or like being prepared for effective self-defense in public and in private.

The Republican Professor is a pro-Second-Amendment, pro-not-criminalizing-innocent-conduct podcast.

Welcome, Matthew Kirby !
