Lynn has not usually been very interested in the Great Courses catalogs that come in the mail. The company used to be The Teaching Company but they changed their name and what they do. The Audible.com app for phones and tablets allows listening to many of the 828 Great Courses.
When a catalog came recently, Lynn got interested this time. We have been running low on good tv to watch in the evenings and a set of DVD's about something of interest seemed a smart idea. She was interested in a Tour of France, How Jesus Became God, and Ancient Civilizations of North America. We have watched thirteen of the 24 lectures about modern France, its sights and delights. Last night, we had a tour of Corsica, the Mediterrannean island that lies between France and Italy.
Prof. John Greene explained that tourism of the island has been increasing in recent years. It has history, sights and culinary assets.
If you have a Roku streamer, you can watch Great Courses on the Great Course channel on Roku for $150 a year or $45 for three months. You also watch on a computer or on a tv hooked to a computer with an HDMI cable.
