Customer Reviews
Work matters
The first thing recorded in Scripture is God working to fill a void. Our work to meet our neighbors’ needs can emulate His when done rightly. I can think of no better inquisitor than Kevin to poke around the nooks and crannies of how people do what they do. No notes, highly recommend.
Great show!
Kevin Williamson is smart, entertaining, and dry. It’s fun listening to him interview a wide range of guests.
Oct. 24, George Weigel interview
For some reason I, a Protestant, have always loved books by and about Roman Catholics. And of course it was great to hear two of them in dialogue. I’d like more discussion on how we can improve education. I’d particularly like to hear some experts in the field of learning styles and disabilities and neurological anomalies as they affect early and lifelong learning. I’d strongly suggest Temple Grandin, who’d make Kevin a great match in terms of honest straight talk.
Love you Kevin, you’re the best
