Necessary & Sufficient Evan Forman

- Gesellschaft und Kultur
Necessary & Sufficient is an exploration of ideas (including those of duality, bifurcation, and hierarchy), a meditation on communication, a map of my mind, and a document of its own creation.
Each week I record a conversation with a guest about a pair of related yet distinct concepts. The guest doesn't know about the topic in advance (I send them a set of index cards through the mail, which they open on-air) but I try to match up people with ideas that they will have some knowledge or opinion about. This isn’t a quiz, but an attempt to capture extemporaneous conversation and thoughts as they unfold between two people. Some topics are technical, some are general knowledge, but all are all open-ended in some way.

164: Art & Artifact with Alex Tunstall
Why did it take me so long to have Alex on N&S? Was I waiting for her to finish her degree? Well, done and done.

163: Lick & Riff with Seth Kibel
Yeah, it’s been quite a while. But let’s jump back on this like nothing ever happened, okay? I’m glad we can agree to agree.

162: NBA & NCAA with Brian Levinson
Sporting correspondent Brian Levinson almost, but not completely, convinces me to watch March Madness. I think his one misstep was comparing game-day action to a Michael Bay movie. Bayhem!

161: Melodrama & Melancholy with Joshua Gaylord
Josh does me the courtesy of provisionally accepting my homebrew definition of one of this week’s words. Always a treat to have him back.

160: Spoilers with Josh Anderegg & Jess Mason
It’s always a pleasure to have this dynamic duo back on the podwaves. The conversation was as lively as you would expect, which is to say, lively.
