  • Summary

  • Paul Morland and Ed West are trying to get to grips with the Western canon.

    Like most of us, they feel under-read and incompetent in the presence of the great Western artistic inheritance. The stuff that shaped our civilisation. From Thomas Mann's Death In Venice, to Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. From Macbeth to A Doll's House, Goya to Goethe, Canterbury Tales to The Ring Cycle.

    It's a world we often neglect, because it feels a little too intimidating, obscure, or dusty.

    Canon Club is Paul and Ed's attempt to redeem themselves - and their listeners. Every alternate week, for an initial season of seven episodes, Paul and Ed take on a different cultural behemoth, talking to a world expert, to explore the deep story.

    Ed West is the author of the Wrong Side Of History Substack, and a prominent journalist.

    Paul Morland is a demographer and the author of several books.

    This is the series trailer.
