Alec has an amazing talent as an interviewer, and is able to elevate a regular conversation to a philosophical but still deeply humanistic place. The overall tone of the podcast is welcoming and accessible and refuses to take an elitist academic attitude, despite the candid conversations being stuffed with academic research, career researchers, and the like.
Alec and the Order of Things is able to create a space that is willing to explore in great depth whatever uncomfortable and messy topics are to be found in the current moment of our society. Alec is passionate and engaged and for the guests and listeners who have the treat of tuning in, that energy is contagious, and the podcasts episodes always leave me feeling empowered to participate in society.
