Le Nouvel Esprit Podcast

Based on the website by the same name, we at the Le Nouvel Esprit Podcast strive to engage in the New Evangelization by addressing the modern world through the lens of Catholic personalism! Join us as we engage our times through faithful and philosophical conversations between three Catholic gentlemen about aesthetics, trends in popular culture, the stream of politics, the challenges that Christians face, and how much of it is rooted in society's view of the human person. We assert that society is in dire need of the paradigm shift to how God views us and created us to be.

Charles Massiatte

After a decade of studying and teaching the Hebrew Bible—and a brief stint in corporate banking and finance—I chose to fulfill my true vocation and devote myself entirely to the Great Books. My particular interest areas include Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Aquinas, Pascal, Nietzsche, Tolstoy, Heidegger, and Strauss. My most recent occupations are Aesthetics, American Literature, and Dietrich von Hildebrand.

I am a proud graduate of Central Catholic High school (San Antonio, TX) and hold a Bachelor of Liberal Arts cum laude from Harvard University. I am currently pursuing a Master of Liberal Arts focusing on Philosophy and Theology at St. John's College (Annapolis). I teach Literature, History, and Economics at a Classical Academy in San Antonio, TX.
