Now it seems he’s trying to set a personal record for speaking as slowly as he can, as if in a kind of reverse Speed scenario, where if he exceeds a certain number of words per minute, a bus will explode. An absolute slog in what should be a home run podcast.”

“David Naimon, the guests are pleasantly surprised by your depth of research and so am I. Every episode. If these podcast episodes were paintings, you’d be up there with the greats. I just finished listening to the Ngugi Wa Thiong’o interview. It felt like there was no bias — just two persons...”Read full review »
