The Diderot Society Podcast is here to provide an opportunity for the members of the AMSA faculty to share their ideas, opinions, and passions with the rest of the community. Whether it be timeless literature or the fascinating mysteries of nature, this interdisciplinary program has something for everybody
In this week’s episode, we sit down and have a chat with Latin teacher and AMSA alumni Mr. Brian Bakkala. Going through AMSA himself, Mr. Bakkala found himself obsessed with the world of languages in both their contemporary and ancient forms. This love for connections between the present and the past have brought him from Latin manuscripts to the new age of programming languages, and everything in between.
