We're members of both Ruth's and your group, so watching Sunday evening at 8 was must-see-TV for the two of us. Put simply, it was excellent. You and Ruth complement each other's skillsets and areas of expertise, and are respectful of each other in ways that were rather inspiring. You two bring out the best in each other.
Please consider doing more Zoomcasts with Ruth — plus any other projects the two of you can cook up. We'll be there. Just excellent!
So wonderful and enlightening and encouraging to Zoom in with the two of you last Sunday ... a shout-out to Pete Dominick, who introduced me to both of you on his now-defunct Sirius XM daily 3hr romp, years before the 3 of you took the plunge into podcasting!!
I’m so glad to see this here because I missed too much of it Sunday night. I’ll add my cheers for more of these, for sure! I’d also like to see you Zoom with the Gsslit scholars. (There’s much needed reassurance when you scholars let us listen in AND take questions!) Also appreciate when you share what you’re reading and watching, and/or reference your go-to people. On that note, are either of you reading Anand Giridharadas or Chloe Maxim? I’d be interested on your responses to their recent publications. Thank you!
