  • How did I ever live without this!

    I cannot say enough good things about this pod, and the great job Ed does hosting it. Not sure where I ever would have heard the stories the pod has covered so far and it's now my must listen on Thursday mornings.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The link between white evangelicals and guns
Q: What was the justification that John and others gave for carrying a weapon in those circumstances?
There is a culture of fear among evangelicals, who believe the world is conspiring against them, necessitating the need to protect their families with weapons.
Encore: Cycling Rhode Island and beyond
Q: What can Providence do to make the city more friendly to bicyclists?
I think a lot of it is a cultural shift, which I see happening, including rideshare programs that help people explore the city.
Encore: Cycling Rhode Island and beyond
Q: What do you make of the new Henderson Bridge, the Red Bridge bike path?
I think it's beautiful. It's just a masterpiece with a lot going for it including being wide and having pretty views.
Encore: Cycling Rhode Island and beyond
Q: What do you hope people get out of this book?
I hope it reminds people of their love for cycling or encourages them to take it up. For those already biking, I want it to add another layer to their experience.
Encore: Cycling Rhode Island and beyond
Q: What kind of cycling are we talking about? Is this for cyclists who aspire to be in the Tour de France or is it a different target audience?
Definitely not the Tour de France. I like to tell people that I'm a very average cyclist. My approach is a very middle-aged dad approach, usually riding at about 10 miles an hour on a hybrid bike, and I want this book to appeal to everyday cyclists.
