Important show, but........

“I think this is an important podcast and an excellent way to get the latest on new, interesting books. But the structure of the show, at least the questions, don't make me want to buy the books. The interviews seemed geared for other scholars as a lot of the conversation steers toward the process of writing the book. Not what was found in the book. Case in point, "Rethinking Rufus," I would have loved to hear a discussion about some of the things and stories that Foster found and what did that mean and how does it relate now. Also, the questions are usually long and rambling and the answers are ongoing. I would love to hear more of an actual discussion. Not to compare, but I would suggest listening to an author interview by NPR's Dave Davies. They are excellent and he is in and out with a clear focus. As are the authors. Again, this is an important project, but it can be so much better.”Read full review »

“I love this podcast. As a scholar it helps me keep up in the new books in the field and learn about topics in titles I may not have time to read myself. I find the interviewers to always be well informed and prepared and the scholars incredible impressive.”
