Recent Reviews

    if you want propaganda, go elsewhere
    The world needs more of this: i.e. opportunities to hear knowledgeable people calmly discuss important questions in depth, occasionally disagreeing without being disagreeable. While a majority of the guests lean toward the "conservative" point of view (in the political sense of the word), the strengths and weakness of all points of view are almost always addressed transparently and honestly.
