I enjoyed the Hoover Institution interviews with Thomas Sowell. Do you have some other favorites from that series?

If you ever want something a little lighter, I'd recommend "The Fifth Column Podcast". They discuss current events and the media, usually with a few cocktails and lots of obscure references, and much of it is pretty hilarious.

I also enjoy Sowell's interviews on Hoover,

Peter Robinson is a great interviewer in my opinion and Sowell and him seem to have great chemistry. (The online/Zoom episodes coming out in recent months definitely lack this fluidity).

I would recommend the "Good Fellows" podcast series which i briefly described. I like most of them sorry I don't have specific episodes in mind.
