WALKING WITH DANTE is going on hiatus . . . and not for the best reasons

Published on: 9th October, 2025

Just a quick episode to tell you that my health crisis has reached a climax and I am headed to a major surgery that will undoubtedly change my life.

I'm sorry I'm having to stop the podcast at this moment . . . but what a moment we got to: the apex of Virgil's time in the poem. Maybe that's a fitting moment for me to take a break, too.

I hope to be back with the poem in perhaps six weeks. Time will tell how I heal. In the meantime, I wish you smooth walking on whatever paths you must traverse in this life as we all make our own ways across the known universe.

About the Podcast

Walking With Dante
A passage-by-passage stroll through Dante’s DIVINE COMEDY with Mark Scarbrough
Ever wanted to read Dante's Divine Comedy? Come along with us! We're not lost in the scholarly weeds. (Mostly.) We're strolling through the greatest work (to date) of Western literature. Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as I take on this masterpiece passage by passage. I'll give you my rough English translation, show you some of the interpretive knots in the lines, let you in on the 700 years of commentary, and connect Dante's work to our modern world. The pilgrim comes awake in a dark wood, then walks across the known universe. New episodes every Sunday and Wednesday.
