Universal Questions

This week we've got old friends as guests: The Discovery Institute's Dr. Stephen Meyer joins to remind us that the God hypothesis gets us a lot further than alien astronauts. (Check out his excellent New York Post piece.) And then our own Dr. George Savage follows to speak about the new ominous Delta variant, and to point out that industrial policy is better left to innovators rather than bureaucrats. Rob Long is off this week, but James and Peter delve into the January 6th Commission, and rich people in space! Music from this week's podcast: Dear God by XTC

‘Doom’ and Boom

Rob's out in an interview with Greg Gutfield, so it's just Peter and James this week. Even so we've got a packed podcast-full of wonders and terrors. First up is Niall Ferguson to discuss his brand new book, Doom: The Politics of Catastrophe. He and the hosts explore our fascination with disaster. (Be sure to catch his interview with Peter on Uncommon Knowledge as well!) Then they're joined by Stephen Meyer, who has a new book of his own: Return of the God Hypothesis: Three Scientific Discoveries That Reveal The Mind Behind The Universe. (We've got UK episode for that as well!) Also, Peter is shocked to learn Biden's economy is sputtering and James sets the record straight-on what, you ask? Listen to find out. Music from this week's episode: God Only Knows by the Beach Boys.
