Enduring Interest podcast

Enduring Interest

A books and ideas podcast with Flagg Taylor. From the unjustly neglected, to the underappreciated, to the oft-cited but seldom read, to the just plain obscure, we aim to give important books and essays of enduring interest a wider audience. Some works will allow us to revisit permanent questions, while others might provide a unique perspective on a very contemporary problem. We hope to educate and entertain and take listeners away from the pressure of the present and the new.
