The Global Republic
Hosted by Lelyn R. Masters, The Global Republic is a podcast about the books that shape how we think—and the forgotten conversations that made modernity possible. Each episode features deep-dive reviews and essays on philosophy, the history of ideas, political theology, cross-cultural transmission, and the long arc of intellectual history, from Padua to Baghdad, from Jefferson to Marracci.
Whether it’s Enlightenment thinkers reading the Qur’an, dragomans shaping European Orientalism, or ancient myths refracted through Cold War science fiction, this podcast explores the strange, contested borderlands where ideas migrate, mutate, and endure.
If you believe the past is unfinished business—and that translation is a kind of revolution—this is your podcast.
New episodes periodically, grounded in Lelyn’s writing at lelyn.substack.com.
