I’ve followed Professor Sachs for years but for whatever reason only recently discovered his book club. I just listened to the first episode—a discussion with Jon Wolfsthal of the Federation of American Scientists—about how America can step away from nuclear madness. The conversation is sobering and tracks with Annie Jacobsen’s excellent Nuclear War: A Scenario, but it’s surprisingly hopeful, as well. Highly recommended and I’m now looking forward to going back to the interviews I’ve missed.

Just listen. Dr Sachs’ is a masterful interviewer. He provides a space for his guests to discuss and provide a rich understanding of the topics of their work.

Jeffrey Sach’s interviews are eye-opening and insightful, offering a fuller view of today’s geopolitical problems. The information provided is historical facts that are conveniently left out of the conversation in the mainstream media. If every US citizen and resident listened to these podcasts, we may be able to avoid being involved in more disastrous, unnecessary wars and massacres.

For a small investment of time Jeff Sachs gives us a beautiful conversation with the author of a valuable book each episode. Enriching, edifying and deeply human.
