He’s a ridiculous and anachronistic guy but he’s hella articulate and sometimes you want to listen to a podcaster who knows what impugn means
Deep and thoughtful host with a great mix of guests. An excellent podcast, one you would expect from The Atlantic. I also value his book reviews.
As David says, he is a great friend of Israel. This weaves throughout his interviews, and I have listened to all of them here. There has been a genocide of Palestinians by Israel, and atrocities committed by settlers in the West Bank - no mention by David - but he’s mentioned, many times, the horrible atrocity of October 3, 2024 on Israelis by Hamas.
