Came for the Mary Beard review which was terrific as always. Stayed on the channel only to hear a half hour on Gaza genocide. Obviously this is the Guardian’s position but most of the non Guardians world know that despite a horrible war, there is no genocide save for the genocidal intent of Hamas. But sure, let the former grand old newspaper of note share these ideas with their echo chamber while its readership abandons this Pravda-esque publication.
This show is so timely and real…helps me process what’s happening in a real simple but insightful way. Kai and Carter are outstanding…it’s my go to when I’m working out at the gym!
An informative, fresh perspective. Hosts have good chemistry. Kai’s name seems so familiar. Turns out I probably read him in The Blade, know of him from NPR. And we both got out of Indianapolis!
Thanks for the updates, news stories, and for placing them on audio and in writing. I enjoy both listening and reading you.
I am so delighted to find Kai Wright has a nee podcast. He and Carter are a great team. They interview smart, interesting people. This is a must-listen for me now!
