TY for your Beinart episode. The give and take was refreshing. Think about having Rami Khouri on for his take on the Middle East. Sharp guy…and a Syracuse man!

I find it hard to believe this podcast only has 4 stars and not 5. I found Coleman through Sam Harris, but to be honest I prefer Coleman these days. Great questions which are direct to the heart of the issues. Keep it up brother 👍
