The interviewer isn't that bad. He shows he is really interested...

[Santarchy]

This interview is annoying to watch. The interviewer talks way too much and keeps interrupting his guest. I would actually like to hear what the guest has to say.

[mosesmilch]

Channer ruins this interview. I'm a former student and huge fan of Bronner's but Channer must take up forty of the fifity-eight minutes of this show. Channer is like a Charlie Rose without a brain. Just as Bronner is about to expand and articulate an idea Channer interupts destroying any coherence to the discussion. Watching Bronner keeping his cool is entertaining. You're waiting for Bronner to loose it but unfortunately he can't becuase he's promoting his book on the englightenment.

You should get to know more people.

The guest is my professor, one of the smartest men I have ever known

[jcarvalho123456]

i would really appreciate it if the host would just SHUT THE FUCK UP and let his guest speak. his manners are atrocious.

his willingness to go off on a tangent and namedrop to show his knowledge of a subject are embarrassing and make him seem senile at times.

this is EXACTLY the reason why there is no Left and the Right simply has to give any coalescing leftist movement time and space to hang it itself: everyone wants to have the floor and speak. ALL THE TIME!

pitiful.

[PuppyHate]

Awesome show! Seems like everyone claims to be carrying the torch of the enlightenment. The enlightenment started as a revolutionary concept and will forever be revolutionary by definition.
