Season 1 · Episode 263

mardi 30 juillet 2024 • Duration 01:03:52

We revisit a book we've done an episode on already. But here's the thing, folks: the book is so dang good, and Graeme walks us through the intricacies of a specific scene in this one. And it's good. Soooooo good. In my humble opinion.

mardi 27 février 2024 • Duration 01:14:10

In this episode, I admit that while I, Graeme, have some good points, A.J. is ultimately right. He's convinced me with the gravity of his intellect couched in both wit and charm. What a great guy, that A.J..

mardi 18 mai 2021 • Duration 01:04:17

Machiavelli was a statesman that wanted back into the good graces of the Medici. It half worked. This is a discussion of the work that was supposed to do the job of charming the prince. It's entitled, shockingly, "The Prince."

mardi 4 mai 2021 • Duration 01:03:30

mardi 27 avril 2021 • Duration 01:04:03

"A Mathematician's Lament," by Paul Lockhart, mourns the way we teach math to children. In many ways, he's right. A.J. will probably still find something to complain about, though.
