  • most admirable

    Besides Moira’s great intelligence and always interesting guests,

    I greatly admire her for the absence of commercials. I listen to many podcasts and she is THE ONLY ONE without commercials. I am so impressed, she helps me to see that not all human beings are greedy and running after money. Thank you Moira. During the brief intermission instead she always has some very compelling and creative music.

  • Tap dancing Recital

    Dr. Suleyman sure seems to do a lot of tap dancing around hard definitions. Everything he says May be spot on but it’s his bag. Who cares? In the long fun we’re all dead.

I definitely searched for a podcast in the past, after finding myself trapped in the car, listening to a radio broadcast, knowing that I would never be able to listen again anywhere else, because no podcast or transcript existed. And I unfortunately couldn’t always stay and listen. So I guess it has been a while since I looked to see if there was a podcast and imagine my joy when ... more

  • Host interruptions a problem

    Love the content of this podcast but the host often interrupts guests. Her interruptions feature a giggly shrill tone that detracts from the show.
