  • David as a host?

    I came to the pod last spring as a devoted follower of David’s work. I thought of David as one of the most prepared, thoughtful and articulate GUESTS in media. I was dubious that he could match this stellar work as a HOST. I was wrong.

  • David Brooks Episode

    David you present one of the best political/ historical podcasts. That being said, this latest Brooks interview should be considered a graduate school level course in recent American and World political history and theory. Thank you- may you continue in good health and prosperity. PS- I watched the Netflix series you speak of- loved it!!!!
