  • Wonderful subjects

    I love the discussants and books chosen for this podcast and rarely skip an episode. They have taught me a lot. My only gripe is the non-engaged, non-sequitur, book report-like style of questioning of the interviewer. The questions are good but they break up the flow of the conversation, keeping it from being the deep discussion that could otherwise result from more carefully woven lines of questioning.
