Terrible sound quality

I want to listen to this podcast but the sound quality is so bad that I get too frustrated to continue. I really wanted to hear the author of the book about university brainwashing but….!!! Thus 4 stars instead of 5

Right-wing rag

First Things, which began as a thought-provoking, well-reasoned journal, sold its soul to Trump (as many religious groups have). This podcast sounds like right-wing talk radio. I miss what First Things once stood for.

Top Drawer

This is a smart, witty, and orthodox discussion of important issues of the church and the state. I highly value these exchanges of interesting ideas. Few places offer such an elevated discussion. I’m forever grateful to First Things and Mark Bauerlein, a profoundly kind and erudite interviewer. Bravo!
