Reviews

4.3 out of 5 stars from 39 ratings
  • Variable quality; can be very good

    Perhaps that speaks to the variety of books covered.

    I suggest having an annotated transcript to allow a deeper dive, similar to SmartyPants or ScienceFriday.

  • Less informative than an infomercial

    Talk radio on the net. The podcaster believes we are a captive audience like their students.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Selling the Word of God: The Early Commercial History of the English Bible with Harry Spillaine (Bodleian, 2026)
Q: So how do you think about the history and the impact of this particular Bible, given the kind of wider context that you know about?
Spillane sees the King James Bible as the culmination of a century of Bible production. Its restrained design helped it endure, while its widespread dominance came later, reinforced after the monarchy was restored and the Church of England supported it.
Selling the Word of God: The Early Commercial History of the English Bible with Harry Spillaine (Bodleian, 2026)
Q: Could you start us off, please, by introducing yourself a little and tell us why you decided to write this book?
Spillane describes his interests in early modern religious history, print and how readers bought and used books. Researching English Bibles at the Bodleian led him to focus on the people who sold and used them, rather than concentrating only on translators.
Education That Reflects Local Language, Culture, and Country
Q: How can universities better equip teacher graduates to teach EALD students, including Indigenous EALD students? Is there adequate EALD training for initial education?
Steele says current preparation is inadequate. An audit found uneven access to dedicated EALD subjects, while broad diversity standards often fail to address the specific teaching needs of EALD learners. She argues for a dedicated focus in teacher standards and stronger teacher education.
Education That Reflects Local Language, Culture, and Country
Q: Can you talk a bit about the importance of positionality?
Steele says researchers should make their identity clear and consider how it shapes their work. Reflecting on her own position as a white researcher has helped her recognize whiteness, examine research practices, and consider community ownership of data.
Rhetorical Powers: How Rising States Shape International Order with Sasikumar Sundaram (Columbia UP, 2026)
Q: Is engaging in rhetoric then the only way for the weak to stand against or bargain with the strong in contemporary game of geopolitics?
Sundaram says rhetoric is not the only avenue, but it is an important way for actors to use language strategically, persuade audiences and contest power. He uses Gandhi's performance of authenticity and non-rhetoric as an example of rhetoric operating as power politics.
