Unplugged Mom – “More Trivium: An Introduction” – with Gene Odening
Welcome to your intellectual pilgrimage folks.
I’m honored to have had the pleasure of interviewing long time Trivium student, philosopher and advocate, Gene Odening, for a multi-part, exclusive Unplugged Mom Radio presentation on the Trivium.
Here you will find my brief explanation of the series immediately followed by The Introduction to the series. Please listen to fully appreciate the most important significance in this pursuit of intellectual growth.
“The Trivium Improves thinking because it helps to awaken and connect dormant neurons.”
Studying the trivium brings us ‘knowing’ as opposed to the ‘illusion of knowing’.

*Note: toward the end of this episode you will hear me announce that Part I – Grammar immediately follows. However due to some personal unforeseen scheduling issues we were unable to mix the Grammar episode in time. So I invite you to listen and reflect on the information presented in the Introduction and look forward to Grammar coming out very soon!

I have raised 3 daughters and I so wish I had this information when they were little. Two of my girls are now teachers and I have forwarded this podcast to them. I wait for further installments with bated breath! Bravo!!!
Is there a way for modern teachers, within the confines of their 45 minute classes and gov’t red tape to imbue their lessons with the knowledge and practice of the trivium?
If so, I want to know how.
Yes, of course… that’s what all of this is about, including this website.
Hello my friend! I want to say that this post is amazing, great written and come with approximately all significant infos. I’d like to peer more posts like this .
Gene,
I am impressed with your knowledge of Trivium and your ability to communicate such a topic with ease. You are self-educated and a wonderful instructor of the knowledge that you were mentored. I had no idea of the depth of your intellect. Bless you brother.
