“Very Good program, overall. Have listened to many episodes, and enjoyed them.
But just now I had to turn off “cancel culture and the Great Books” episode, because I feared for some family members’ spines by bending WAY over backwards to say “both sides of the aisle” are responsible.
How many...”Read full review »

“One thing I appreciate is that I feel like this podcast takes an idea or a book and looks at it from other angles than the one I have been looking at, which allows me to circle around the issue and see parts of it that I hadn’t seen before. This is especially true when they have guests on, but I...”Read full review »

This podcast is different. I’d say that it is discussed at a much higher level than most, and the...”Read full review »
