About Oralotium podcast

Rebirthing literature through the popular oral medium of podcasting. Otium, meaning leisure time in which a person can enjoy playing, contemplation and/or studious endeavors. It originally was the withdrawing from one's daily business (negotium) or affairs to engage in activities that were considered to be artistically valuable or enlightening (i.e. writing, reading, discussing, philosophy etc.). "The Renaissance never would have happened if it were not for the collective critical attitudes of the Florentines."-Giorgio Vasari. So, lets cultivate the critical thinking and have ourselves a Renaissance. You can find me on Instagram and Facebook at Oralotium and patreon.com/Oralotium Hosted on Acast.
