Welcome to Nearly Heroes, a website, podcast, and digital community that seeks ways to improve the here-and-now through the heroic virtues of yesteryear. Nearly Heroes finds in the virtue ethics and heroism of the past — whether historical, mythical, or philosophical — a path to a better place for us as individuals and as a society.
On a weekly basis, our podcast reviews today’s problems and issues through the lens of heroic virtue ethics. Periodically, we present “Nearly Heroes Deep Dives,” podcasts that explore the paragons of virtue and heroism who inspire us. And continually and relentlessly, we are working to overcome our own obstacles — in steps giant and small, together and apart — to get ever closer to that mountain top.
Enjoy these posts and podcasts as we all strive to be the hero our modern world needs. Our journey starts here.
