The thought of St. Thomas Aquinas, the Universal Doctor of the Church, is our touchstone.  The TI is an academic institute of the Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C.   You can find all of the Thomistic Institute lecture recordings on https://soundcloud.com/thomisticinstitute or through the Apple Podcast by searching "Thomsitic Institute."
