Dive into the rich and complex realm of rhetoric and persuasion with "Gorgias," a podcast that invites listeners to explore the art of influence through a rotating collection of audiobooks that echo the philosophical inquiries of Socrates and Plato. Each episode presents a new complete audiobook, offering a variety of perspectives on the power of words, the nature of truth, and the ethical dimensions of communication. As we navigate themes of sophistry and the intricate dance between speaker and audience, we invite you to reflect on how rhetoric shapes our understanding of the world and ourselves. This is not a single narrative but a series of unique explorations that challenge our perceptions and stimulate thought. Join us on this auditory journey to discover a new book with each episode, where the echoes of ancient dialogues resonate in contemporary discussions of influence and morality.

27 AUG 2026 · This dialogue brings Socrates face to face with the famous sophist Gorgias and his followers. It is a work likely completed around the time of "Republic" and illuminates many of the spiritual ideas of Plato. The spirituality, as Jowett points out in his wonderful introduction, has many ideas akin to Christianity, but is more generous as it reserves damnation only for the tyrants of the world. Some of the truths of Socrates, as presented by Plato, shine forth in this wonderful work on sophistry and other forms of persuasion or cookery. (Summary by Kevin Johnson)
