- cmdOption January 19, 2019 at 1:40 am on AboutHello, Fellow Fans of Rick, After searching and not succeeding in finding *'modern' quality audio versions of these lectures, I took it upon myself to try and 'remaster' using the videos as the source. The results have been quite nice and I think worth sharing for those like who listening to the great courses while on the go. I've managed to *nearly eliminate the tape hiss sound without distortion of Rick's voice and compressed the audio in AAC-LC for small size high quality. I hope you guys will enjoy it. Cheers.

- Merrill or John J Miller October 18, 2018 at 10:14 am on AboutI admire Rick Roderick as one of the most brilliant minds of our time or any time in human history. To think he was to be found in West Texas just shows that gemstones are formed in unlikely and barren looking places. I only wish I had known him personally as a student or as a friend. I don't think I've ever come across a wiser or more compassionate intellect in my 65 years on this strange planet. This world is so much poorer for his passing. RIP Rick.
- Jay October 15, 2018 at 2:02 pm on AboutWhat an American treasure! absolutely dumbfounded he is not famous. I am sharing this site with anyone who likes rediscover themselves. His lectures should be shared and reposted everywhere
- Sean October 11, 2018 at 9:04 pm on AboutNot sure who the currator is here, but I've poached a bit of this site to make Facebook page of the same intention. Hopefully that's ok. Rick Roderick was, and is, such a boss.
- Greg Gasiorowski October 7, 2018 at 12:08 am on 201 Nietzsche as Myth and Mythmaker (1991)What Thirtysomething show was he talking about? I'm 55 & that threw me for a loop.
- Greg Gasiorowski October 6, 2018 at 10:56 pm on 107 Kierkegaard and the Contemporary Spirit (1990)He sadly hasn't been around to hear it for some time...
- Merrill or John J Miller October 3, 2018 at 10:44 pm on LinksRick Roderick, while I never knew or met him is one of the best friends I've ever had. His lectures have been one of the reasons I know I'm not crazy but this full on Postmodern world is. I wonder what Mr. Roderick would have had to say about the year 2018 with Donald Duck (er I mean Trump) as Emperor? I think he might have thought reincarnation was a reality and that Ronald Reagan was back for another go at things. Much of what he was seeing as a danger has come true with a vengeance and long before most anyone else was even thinking about it. Being old and out of sorts due to an inability to find anything of value in my culture, RR's lectures have been one of my only touchstones for sanity. (Bless you whoever has put them online) Anyway I miss him very much. The world is just a little colder and less sane without him. He died too soon for me but just in time to avoid seeing the last of Democracy circle and go down the drain.
