Reader Responses to Listen Well

I was disappointed that your issue didn’t include one of my favorite Brown podcasters, Krista Tippett ’83, whose On Being interviews never fail to inspire and educate me. Yes, I enjoy Ira Glass ’81 for his quirky insights, but Krista’s guests and her engagement with them are more deeply thought-provoking and more authentically reflective of her as an individual thinker. When I discovered that she was a Brunonian, I was so pleased for Brown to have had such an intellectual humanist.        

I loved seeing the list of podcasts by Brown alums. If you’re planning to make “Listen Well” a recurring feature, I’d love to submit my podcast, Follow Friday, for consideration. It’s a weekly interview show with internet creators about who they follow online and why the rest of us should follow those people, too. By coincidence, two of the guests have also been Brown alumni; Kevin Roose ’09 and Zach Bornstein ’12.
