Please, Go On is always a Friday treat but today it was particularly fine to hear Michele Norris with Sheryl Lee Ralph. Thanks!
Recommend!
So glad James H is back. I had really missed The Big Idea because it was one of my daily staples. This new podcast offers the same thoughtful coverage of topics that keep me learning and thinking. Sometimes I still miss my daily dose of his former work, but this weekly offering makes up for that!

Ok.
