This project is not yet underway, but will be produced from recorded sessions of the Online Epicureanfriends meetings. The podcast will be structured around (1) a review of the Letter to Herodotus, followed by (2) a review of each of the Principal Doctrines and Vatican Sayings. As soon as we get a core group of people ready to participate regularly we will launch this project. Please indicate your interest in participation by posting in the threads below.

Epicurean Radio was set up in 2019 as a website to continuously live-stream episodes of the podcasts and other materials. With technology changes, as of February, 2020, it appears that these resources are better spent on podcasting and other on-demand materials. All material formerly available at Epicureanradio.com is now available through links in this forum. If and when Epicureanradio.com is reactivated, notice will be placed here.

In the spring of 2023 EpicureanFriends sponsored a weekly book review of "Living for Pleasure: an Epicurean Guide to Life" by Emily Austin. We were honored to have Ms. Austin herself participate with us in the final session. Watch the Activities forum for future similar programs.
