This podcast is a hidden gem. Renee is a great interviewer and brings out the best in all of the speakers/authors. The selection of books/speakers/topics is always at the cutting edge. The ideas I discover help me in various parts of my life, including my own scholarly work and activities. When I talk to or interview people, I will strive to emulate Renee. I find myself disappointed when I check the podcast app and don’t see a new episode from the Van Leer Institute of Ideas. Keep up the stimulating work. Given the nature of many of the topics, and the particular time we live in and events we are experiencing, we need podcasts like this now more than ever!
