Life and Books and Everything

I appreciate the depth of discussion and how thoroughly the topics are handled. Hosts are great to listen to.

Great hosts and book recommendations!

Interesting and in depth conversation with sound guests.

They have some very interesting conversations on here. I think one perspective that is missing is the outside-Twitter zone - only about 22% of Americans have a Twitter account. There’s a lot of hand wringing here about “hot cultural issues” that could be more useful with some review of available polling data. Public opinion is not nearly what it is made out to be by the hosts and many guests. I think they do themselves and their listeners a disservice by spinning up drama that’s been created by conflict entrepreneurs. I think their conversations would be more interesting if they included references to the SCOPE of problems - many are panicking about issues that have 10% popular support, but the outsized influence of social media commentators is really obscuring that and I think hosts have a responsibility to be clear about it.
