This is the podcast where smart – and cheeky – scholars share their knowledge about culture, art, and history... and bust a whole lot of myths along the way.
Have you ever mined the mountain of podcasts out there looking for something exciting about history, culture, or art? Did you get bogged down with dry lectures full of jargon? Or, maybe you got slapped in the face with an ideological rant that has little basis in reality?
The Cheeky Scholar is changing all of that and uses interviews with humanities experts - think historians, philosophers, etc - to bust popular cultural myths and extremist ideologies. Every episode, host Dr. Lara Ayad invites a scholar to tear off those tweedy elbow pads, grab a cold drink, and talk real with her about the human experience.
Whether it's politics, education, family, or religion we wrestle with some of the hottest cultural topics using real research, down-to-earth conversation, and a healthy dose of, well, cheekiness.
