This installment of Audition features interviews with the following guests:

-- Leon Kass, on the people who shaped his thinking on bioethics and the meaning of the human

-- Bernard Lewis, on how Islamic antipathy toward the West has been simmering since the late 17th century

-- Thomas de Zengotita, on how the proliferation of signs and messages aimed to encourage us to buy things affect us in other ways

Also featured is an excerpt from the essay, "Shop Class as Soulcraft," by Matthew B. Crawford.

Each of these interviews is part of much longer MARS HILL AUDIO programs which are now available as MP3 downloads.
