Here is a link to the audio of today’s episode of Slate’s Culture Gabfest, where they talk critically and very insightfully about a couple of episodes of Hi-Phi Nation. The discussion begins at 33:51.
A show about philosophy that turns stories into ideas.
Hi-Phi Nation 
Congrats Barry; that sounded like pretty unanimous high praise ! Funny how their comments resonated with me re. how much better Hi-Phi Nation is than similarly formatted shows, e.g. the cutesy, condescending bits on Radiolab drive me crazy (ergo I haven’t listened in quite a while).
Thank you for sharing all this with us. I don’t know where you got your information, but that’s good.
