The first-ever Necessary & Sufficient recorded live-to-whatever-you-call-the-digital-equivalent-of-tape at N&SHQ in Brooklyn.  Brian was a great guest, and I love his remark about how simple the topic would be, right at the start of what turned out to be a 45-minute conversation.  Everything is more complicated than you think.

Things are finally getting racy!  Only a matter of time!  Step up folks, a real-life pornographer joins me on Necessary & Sufficient!  Lisa, if you’re reading this, I mean “pornographer” in the best possible sense.

Here it is–the first-ever live-before-an-audience Necessary & Sufficient!  Recorded the week before last at the Union Square Round Table at the Brattle Theater in Cambridge, Mass.  Hang on to your hats.

Another week, another rabbi.  (I almost typed “another rabbit” here.)  My people are an inquisitive people, and Greg was a great guest.  Listen up!

The third resident of Merrick, New York, and the first in a two-week run of rabbis.  Welcome, Ira Ebbin.

What a delight is Tim Young.  I had to have him back quicklike.

I haven’t seen Bob Blewett for over a decade, but thanks to the internets, I was able to track him down and coerce him to come on the podwaves.  Necessary & Sufficient once again serves as a great excuse to reconnect.

Clearly, and happily, we’ve batted around to the top of the order again (sports metaphor).  Here comes past favorite Raquel Hecker.  Can Jeremy Broomfield be far behind (shout out)?

What a treat to have Erin back on Necessary & Sufficient.  It took some doing, but I made it happen.  Efforts paid off, too–what other guest could transition so seamlessly from baking to 17th century Dutch painting and back?
