The Most Important Podcast
A show about saving the world, because we have to -- and about rock and roll, because I want to.
The Most Important Podcast takes a serious look at a few, simple questions: What is the most important problem in the world? How would we find it, and How do we solve it? It interviews politicians, academics, journalists, musicians, and more, to try to get the answers that will set us, as a species, in the right direction.
Expect occasional swearing.

Anna Goldfarb Helps You Be a Modern Friend
Anna Goldfarb has been called "the New York Times Friendship correspondent," and with a title like that how could I resist? We talk about her great new book Modern Friendship, which is an extremely practical approach to building and keeping friendships, but above all to seeing their value, and making intentional choices about them. We talk about the fact that there's only one source of good data on international friendship (but plenty of data on 5,000 other things), the dangers of friendship Cheetos, and the social foibles of squid.
At her website https://annagoldfarb.com/ you can find the book, her substack, and more.
