Great show, perfect marriage of the craft of storytelling and the world of culture and politics. Can you please get better microphones? It’s hard to listen to for very long…Whitney especially sounds really distant.
This is hands down my favorite podcast. The hosts deftly steer the conversation with such interesting guests, the discussion always gets my wheels turning and makes me want to read, and I always learn something.
Loved the one on the writers’ strike, the one on Cormac McCarthy… a really nice range of topics always, and smart analysis, good questions, prepared hosts.
Your conversation with the hosts of Explaining Ukraine about “Crime Without Punishment” was timely and relevant. Don’t miss this episode!
