“I love this podcast and am very grateful for it. I have purchased so many books I have learned about through this podcast. I was thinking the other day as I went to purchase a book I learned about here that there should be a code we can type as opposed to having to click through the links or whatever in order to give credit where credit is due. Because if I scroll through my podcasts, see a title of a book on the podcast app, I click right over to amazon and put that book in the cart or buy it now, etc. I figured I would mention it if it was in fact important, maybe it isn’t and at this point the NBN is aware of how much they impact sales based on the correlation of when the post is made and when the books are purchased. On another note, I do get the distinct impression that sometimes the interviewer has not read the book at all and when this happens it is quite obvious for the audience and the author. I think authors of academic books maybe just go with the flow because they are obligated by their big academic publishing house, first, and also would rather be in that type of interview than no type of interview. But in those cases, I think it would be better if the author was given the opportunity to do a presentation for an hour or so without the terrible questions with no follow up and the absolutely dreaded “I think it is so interesting that you [insert partial sentence from the second paragraph of the introduction]; will you elaborate more on that?” Incidentally, “interesting” is a concept for the crowd, not the critic. Big ups to Marshall Poe, though, that he remain touched by the light of Clio.”
