The Good and Basic Podcast: Better and More Complex

In which we begin with Polynesian carved canoes and end up with cathedrals. Our conversation is quite the trip, but still not as impressive as the Polynesians who navigated across the ocean with no land in sight and no known destination.

In which JB and JF celebrate JB joining the faculty of a small college in the wilderness by talking about higher education in general--what is it good for, how can you extract the best out of it, and what could be done to make it better? We cover a lot of ground, but when it comes to education there's always more to tackle and we'll likely be back soon.

In which JF and JB spend a full hour clobbering each other repeatedly with philosophic 2x4s regarding which motorcycle book (Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance or Shop Class as Soulcraft) is truly superior. Actually, the goal was understanding, but that was frankly hard enough to work towards and it's possible that the more blunt and less elegant 2x4 may have been occasionally used. Give a listen and weigh in on the conversation.
