Welcome to FORMA, a podcast featuring conversations with authors, teachers, creators, and community leaders who are carefully contemplating the nature and practice of classical education and the arts.

In this episode, David chats with Joshua Gibbs, author of the new book How to Be Unlucky: Reflections on the Pursuit of Virtue, out now from CiRCE. In this wide-ranging discussion they chat about Gibbs' journey from bad student to good teacher, how good teachers should talk about their students problems, discovering the life-changing nature of books, and much, much more.

This episode is brought to you by our good friends at New College Franklin, a four year Christian Liberal Arts college in Franklin, TN that is dedicated to excellent academics and discipling relationships among students and faculty.
