I love your podcast. It gives me the chance to reflect and think, in a climate that throws information, memes and pictures at you and it is all disposable and trendy- information that becomes ‘so yesterday or last year.’
Thus is true literature, thought and discussion. It is done in a way that isn’t boring or falsely intellectual, but is like going with a friend on a walk and ‘stopping to smell the roses,’ hear the birds and squirrels, see the ants, marvel at the trees and actually look at the sky.

Hi Rebecca,
Thank you very much for the compliments – I will pass them on to Eric.
Re the PDFs, good news: We have at least temporarily fixed it now – my mother was in hospital for 3 weeks and it took some figuring out and some time to figure out at least a temporary fix once I returned home.
Jesse :D
Rebecca, this is what Eric replied:
“Wow. That’s so kind—and eloquent. Thanks.”
