The Marketplace of Ideas
A public radio program and podcast dedicated to in-depth conversation with thinkers and creators. It emphasizes equally the ideas and the people behind them, and those people have included 43Folders founder Merlin Mann, "mumblecore" director Andrew Bujalski, New Yorker fiction critic James Wood, Bookworm host Michael Silverblatt, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. I've aired over 100 interviews so far, most about an hour long, and I show no signs of stopping.

great idea, but terrible name as you are sure to be challenged by APM.

Three years and hasn't happened yet. But my fingers remain crossed for a high-profile lawsuit, which would give me some sorely-needed publicity.

Yeah, I don't see how APM could sue. There are so many defenses built in.

Doesn't violate copyright or trademark.

I only know two or three of those people.

I've listened to several of these podcasts and I always enjoy them! I remember being particularly fond of your interview with an author of a book on Brian Eno.
