“Chris Lydon is the consummate intellectual, able to uncover fascinating Connections from a variety of guests about a range of topics. This is no mundane "talk show." In contrast to most "talk" shows, this is not about getting people to argue their cases but about finding common ground.

The website format is the most interactive, with audience able to suggest topics and comment through very thoughtful blogging. With all of the conflict on radio shows (even the current version of NPR’s The Connection, which he founded before he was forced out!) this is an intellectual oasis for those of us who are fascinated by the world and wish we could have just stayed in our college classes a few more years.”Read full review »

“It’s a great way to condense all the things you should know about: Mahler, INFINITE JEST, Edmund Burke, as well as Obama, and jazz, and all the rest. Chris Lydon is truly interested, kind, and thoughtful. It’s well worth getting used to!”
