Beyond the classroom, Dr. Firestone hosts The Firestone Files, a podcast that brings philosophical and theological reflection to a wider audience. He is known among students and colleagues for his warmth, his patience with hard questions, and his abiding conviction that the life of the mind is at its best when offered in service to the good, the true, and the beautiful.
