Great podcast but routinely hindered by the poor audio of guests. Get a tech guy.
I’ve been listening to this for a while now, and almost every episode is very enlightening. Thank you, Dr. Church (and you normally delightful guests).
A haven of intellectual and interesting dialogue. Thank goodness
As an undergraduate at UW-Madison in the early 1990s Political Theory with Professor Charles Anderson was my favorite class. These discussions continue my education in this domain.
This could be a great show, but the audio is so poor, that it is difficult to sit through an entire episode. Again, Church is smart and engaging, so pay for his show Houston!
