The cultured bumpkin does excellent justice to this masterpiece, and the reading is a joy to listen to. My only complaint is that there is a minor glitch in the recording so that a few lines are lost in the end of book 2. Rather annoying - you never get to hear that he shot the albatross :-) But overall excellent.

Ever wanted to read Dante's Divine Comedy? Come along with us! We're not lost in the scholarly weeds. (Mostly.) We're strolling through the greatest work (to date) of Western literature. Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as I take on this masterpiece passage by passage. I'll give you my rough English translation, show you some of the interpretive knots in the lines, let you in on the 700 years of commentary, and connect Dante's work to our modern world. The pilgrim comes awake in a dark wood, then walks across the known universe. New episodes every Sunday and Wednesday.

Such a pleasant walk

Mark is slowly walking us through the comedy, elaborating and reflecting on each canto, line by line, highlighting subtleties, issues to ponder, and controversies. The divine comedy is an amazing poem, reflecting both the catholic vision of the afterlife and Dante's own modifications to this - often being close to being heretical (and in some parts clearly being so). Mark handles the text with great care, focusing on an exact translation to examine Dante's intentions and hidden meanings. If you enjoy reading the comedy (and once one has, it seems most never stops re-reading it, making it a part of ones life), you will thoroughly enjoy Mark's slow and methodical treatment of all the details. The podcast is in many ways the university course you wanted to take on Dante but likely never did - but with the benefit of not being bounded by time constraints, allowing your professor to elaborate to their hearts content on all the details they enjoy - and make you enjoy - in this great work.
