Who We Are – TrueNorth Podcast Network

True North.fm is a network of podcasts, vodcasts, and blogs on the renewal of Classical Education in the United States and abroad. TrueNorth.fm was founded in 2021 with the goal of providing an accurate, full-bodied understanding of Classical Education through our six podcasts: The Christopher Perrin Show, Classical Crossroads, Reclaiming Our Canon, Principia, PhiloSophia, and Culture Crush. We also feature the Anchored Podcast hosted by Jeremy Tate.

Whether you’ve known about Classical Education and the ongoing renewal for years, months, or just a few minutes, we welcome you to the TrueNorth.fm network!
