Fables for the American Republic

Episode length: 50m

Subscribe to Mom WarsSubscribe

Bethany sat down with Professor Matt Mehan, Associate Dean and Associate Professor of Government at Hillsdale in DC, to discuss his new book, The American Book of Fables, released last month. We have a wide-ranging conversation about the importance of fables, homeschooling as the Founders might have, and the importance of literature for all ages.

He's the author of three books, including Mr. Mehan's Mildly Amusing Mythical Mammals and The Handsome Little Cygnet.

Hosted by Bethany Mandel and Kara Kennedy, with guest MMMatthew Mehan
