Yost Rules!
I agree with all that's been written--even the one-star reviewer who was put off by your snarky Dylan comments. I wasn't so much put off, as disappointed. RJN could be snarky too, after all. It's just that he was, well, older. So his snark had a little more heft. For the most part, however, the show is excellent. But I'm surprised that no one has noted how Julia really has the most wonderful voice for radio and podcasts. Combined with the soft jazz bumpers, it sets a lovely "weltschmertz" tone. Like RJN must have been after cigars and port: sweet, mellow, reflective. Sadly, I never met the great man. But I do get to listen to Julia each week. And that's some comfort. Do get your editors to spring for a new sound-board and mics, will you? You folks are definitely worth it. And try a little Benny Goodman some time. Maybe when you review the next Henry Kissinger book. He must have another one coming out soon.Read full review »

I really wanted to love this podcast. But the faux-NPR vibe is eminently grating, and I cannot take Julia Yost's flat, just-below-the-surface condescension. I'll stick to the written word, thanks.Read full review »

Great interview, but sound quality sub-par. Can we not invest a few $ in a sound quality upgrade?

You have a sound quality problem if the majority of the spoken words are unintelligible. I tuned into the episode “Overcoming Mental Illness with Christ” but your guest would have sounded clearer had he used a CB radio. I couldn’t decipher the words.
