In episode 60 of the podcast I have the pleasure of talking with Professor Steven Vanden Broecke, a well known scholar on the history of astrology. We discuss the history of astrology as a discipline and field of study within the academia. Steven Vanden Broecke is a Full professor at the Faculty of Arts and Philosophy, Department of History, University of Ghent. He has written many papers on the history of astrology and his book "The Limits of Influence: Pico, Louvain, and the Crisis of Renaissance Astrology" (2003) was quite influential in the field.
