Established thought leaders with verified media credentials.
Dimitri and Scot are Blue-collar, self-educated men interested in the big questions of life, the universe, and everything. As practicing Eastern Orthodox Christians, we have committed to a worldview in which to operate, and as curious and thoughtful adults, we scorn the blindness of Fundamentalism. Join us as we contemplate the strange and ambiguous beauties of God, the World, and the human person through the literature that shaped the West.
Dimitri and Scot hosts Two Blokes and Their Books, a society show with 24 episodes published.
