Today I interview philosopher David Basinger. Among other things, we discuss:

- The nature of miracles
For this episode, my own voice recorded poorly, but as usual I speak very little and David’s voice recorded well.

Can you please interview Jews and Muslims on there religions?
Solomon Schimmel would be a great place to start! Rebecca Goldstein and Edawrd Tabbash are also Jewish.

A decent interview – dude sounds smart but he was a bit heavy on the caveats and platitudes.
