Great podcast

This is a great podcast series
Just completed the excellent Grant memoir,
so it was nice to be able to review some of the e content.

I’ve listened to about 6 total episodes so far.
The Kendi interview was the only one I felt was really vacuous, and a little garbled. No way he could hold his own and sustain his assertions in anything other that this peach puff interview.
How about interviewing Bob Woodson or Glenn Loury?

I’ve been looking for content discussing Harry Jaffa’s monumental works on Lincoln.
Also the amazing Carl Sandburg’s exhaustive Lincoln biography. NOW! NOW! NOW! 😀

Thanks again! 🙂
