I was pleased to join host Brian Anderson on City Journal’s “Ten Blocks” podcast. We discussed the past, present, and future of psychoanalysis, which seems to be experiencing a revival of interest after several decades of steady decline. The episode is about 17 minutes long.
The John Steigerwald Show - Monday May 1, 2023
I was interviewed about college sports governance by Pittsburgh radio host, John Steigerwald, who has been a fixture on the A.M. dial in Pittsburgh for several decades. The U.S. is the only country in the world that houses a massive sports entertainment complex inside its colleges and universities. If we were starting from scratch, we probably wouldn’t do it this way. Accepting that this is the system we have, how do we preserve what is best in it?
I was interviewed on the May 1, 2023 edition of The John Steigerwald Show. The interview begins at 28:15.
I was pleased to appear as a guest of the entertaining and provocative Australian podcast, “The New Flesh.” The hosts, Jon Astro and Ricky Allpike, gave me a chance to talk about some of my recent essay subjects, including John Updike, William Faulkner, and Norman Mailer. The episode runs about an hour. It can also be found on Apple Podcasts.
