Customer Reviews
Terrible sound quality
I want to listen to this podcast but the sound quality is so bad that I get too frustrated to continue. I really wanted to hear the author of the book about university brainwashing but….!!! Thus 4 stars instead of 5
Top Drawer
This is a smart, witty, and orthodox discussion of important issues of the church and the state. I highly value these exchanges of interesting ideas. Few places offer such an elevated discussion. I’m forever grateful to First Things and Mark Bauerlein, a profoundly kind and erudite interviewer. Bravo!
Great guests, poor interview style
Very good guests, but quite poor interview style. The podcast is a success “despite” the host interview method.
