    Love this pod, very interesting. One presenter, John, talks in too halting a manner, but the show is always intelligent & stimulating.

  • Content far better than audio

    Excellent content, but the audio in the April 28, 2002 episode with Chris keefer was terrible. Keefer’s sounded like an intercom and the host’s like he was at the bottom of mineshaft. Still, I’ve learned a ton from this show.
