Ep. 6 -- Outboard Brain: The Commonplace Book
In this episode of Handmade Humanity, Austin Hoffman and Max Pointner discuss the commonplace book. The commonplace book is a longstanding tradition stretching to Greco-Roman times. The commonplace book is a repository of wisdom and a collection of beautiful quotations. It is a repository of the sweet nectar of flowers to be mixed into a sweet substance. Join Austin and Max as they discuss their own methods for commonplacing, the reasons behind commonplacing, and some suggestions for keeping your own commonplace book.

"A classic is something everybody wants to have read, but no one wants to read." Good things are not hard to find, but they are hard to like. In a world in which almost everything else fades, some good things last, but they are an acquired taste. The Handmade Humanity podcast helps develop your appetite for good things that have stood the test of time. Join Austin and Max as they explore the riches of the classical tradition and bring ancient ideas to the modern era. It can be difficult to begin, but no one regrets learning to love what lasts.
