hi James i look forward to every episode....thank you for following your interests and inspirations. i have a technical request- can you increase the overall volume of your recording output ?? your episodes are quieter than many others i listen to, and while i love the intimacy of your conversation, simply increasing the master level would be most helpful when we're listening in the world!!
thank u! r o b
James shows us why the podcasting format is so valuable. Great authors, original ideas, and thoughtful, in-depth conversations with a well-read, well-prepared, and well-mannered host. What more can one ask for, really?

A standout trait is the host's patient, curiosity-driven style that encourages guests to articulate nuanced positions, sometimes challenging established orthodoxies.
