The podcast

Author Talking

One author. One big idea. One unhurried conversation about the argument at the heart of a new nonfiction book, and what you can do with it.
Season 1 recording now 35–45 minute episodes

Episode format

Every episode follows the same four beats.

So you always know what you're getting: the idea, the evidence, the strongest objection, and something to try.

  1. The idea

    What the book argues, in the author's own words, in about two minutes.

  2. The proof

    The research, cases and stories that convinced the author, and should convince you.

  3. The pushback

    The strongest objection to the idea, put to the author directly.

  4. The Monday move

    One concrete thing listeners can try in the week after the episode.
