Customer Reviews
Great and informative
Love the insightful and interesting episodes. One of the best podcasts available on the internet. Keep up the great work
Astonishingly belligerent and biased
Interview made me sympathise with Robert Kennedy and wonder if his theories about the elites being out to get him and silence all opposition to your bien pensant views are more than mere paranoia. I have no enthusiasm for Kennedy’s politics, but Remnick’s truculent, sneering manner and naked partisanship is a disgrace. What’s happened to the New Yorker?
One to remember and revisit - Remnick on 11 April 2020
On 11 April 2020 the episode was entitled
'Amid a Pandemic, Catharsis at Seven O’Clock'. David Remnick started the show with a memorable word picture. It is so beautifully crafted that it can be relistened to. He starts with some evocative imagery of his city as it is, as it was, and how the changes crept remorselessly into everything we do. Life right now, as he says, depends upon our withdrawal from life - from all those everyday interactions that give meaning. But joy comes at seven, on each, on every day. The noise spills, is captured, and sent onto loved ones. There are so many to cheer. There are so many to care about. In these dark times we need not just good music, good art, good friends, and the comfort of family, home and food, we also need wordsmiths like Remnick and his colleagues: listen, savour, ponder and relisten. Be grateful and humbled. I am.
