I throughly enjoyed the interview with Neal Asherson. What a life! What wonderful insights! He brought me back to periods of my youth and the world events that shaped me as a political person in the 80s and 90s. My thanks to the Neal and the LRB for all you do. I recently renewed my subscription to the LRB and am grateful to continue my support of your fine work.

Can you please go back to talking about books, and stop making every other podcast about Jews? And please stop dismissing the experience of Jewish students. You have not stepped in our shoes - I’m talking to you, Peter Beinart - you don’t know whether our experiences constitute antisemitism or not. But you just assume that we “feel” or perceive antisemitism when it’s not really that. That may be the case for some people, but it is not the case for all. There IS a strain of antisemitism on the radical left disguised as antizionism, and I’m sick of people like Peter Beinart summarily dismissing that.

This episode with Mr Toibin and Mr O’Hagan is exactly the dream what a podcast could be in an ideal world: brilliant conversation, witty, insightful as if at th bay dinner party ever . Thank you

Thank you for the interview ! It is good to have more conversations about it to break the stigma!!! M.A. California

This podcast is fascinating! I’ve learned so much from the series about Medieval women mystics. I can’t wait to listen to more.

The poetry series is *fantastic. I have listened to Mary Wellesley’s Anchoress podcast at least seven times and have recommended it to many. Every time I listen I feel the best parts of my brain coming back to life. No pandering, no “listen to me show you how smart I am.” A+ content.

I’m so glad that the ‘close reading’ series is back!

Loved the episode Etonians, an excellent and scathing insight into UK political leaders.

It's difficult to find high-quality podcasts that are engaging, relevant and don't pander to the lowest common denominator. While I often find myself fiercely opposed to the political or cultural positions taken by the LRB lecturers, the podcast is always insightful, interesting and erudite. Good show, LRB, and thank you.

Thank God, the editors saw the light. I've been waiting a long time for this podcast. Excellent.
