Excellence with a light touch

I just finished listening to show # 962 on the war in Gaza. Have been listening to most of the Econ episodes for a few years and listen to shows in the archive as well. For me, in these worrisome times, this is one of the very best podcasts available. Thank you.
Long Winded

It took Russ 2 minutes to explain what art is to of all people: Sabin Howard! His long-drawn-explanations that occur on every show are tedious to hear.
Great Range

Love the wide range of topics, the seriousness and consideration given to the guests yet no hesitation to challenge respectfully. Russ is always prepared
Glenn Loury Tells All
May 14
Thanks for this podcast, Russ. I could have listened for another hour. As a Christian, in my 70s, I especially wanted to hear about Glenn’s struggles as a Christian now, at age 75. I only really fully understood the gospel about 15 years ago (30 years into my walk, knowing Christ— been a Christian 45 years now). The gospel, the good news is, we are lousy at best. We look to Christ for our perfection and rest in His righteousness, by our faith in Him. So glad to hear about your life, Glenn. I looked: your book is available today!! From a Wyoming listener 😉
