  • Thoughtful conversations

    I’ve been a fan of Alan Alda since my teens when I was obsessed with M*A*S*H. How delighted I was to discover his podcast featuring thoughtful discourse with people from all walks of life. Alda’s intellectual curiosity is palpable in the way he asks his guests questions, and the ensuing conversations are invariably fascinating and engaging. What a calming oasis amid the chaos of the times! Alda is a national treasure!
