My "Let's Consider the Source" interviews

I was interviewed 52 times from 2007 to 2017 by Bob Mann on his Sirius and XM radio show, "Let's Consider the Source".  At some point in the future, I hope there will be an archive for these appearances.  But here, for the record, is a list of the dates and main topics of these 30-minute interviews (I say "main topics," because we often talked about half a dozen things).

Note added December 6, 2019:  My appearance on "Let's Consider the Source" on January 7, 2017 turned out to be the final episode of that show.  But I had the honor of being the first guest on Bob Mann's new podcast, "Hot Media," on December 4, 2019.  You can listen to that show here.
