(Click on the title to hear the podcast or right (option) click to download.)Wherein I present Part 1 of a multi-part interview with Dr. Cedric Jaggard. Ced has a fascinating story to tell of his formative years, studying in pre-WW II Switzerland under the great theologian Karl Barth and in the US under some of the leading theologians of the 20th century. He is one of my favorite people and I hope you enjoy listening to him as much as I did.

(Click on the title to hear the podcast or right click (option+click on a Mac) to download.)Wherein I examine the lessons taught by a bad Senseo Coffeemaker accessory purchase and offer a less-than-exhaustive review of the epic novel,
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.
Behavioral Finance is a school of economic thought that has found greater currency in the past few years. A key figure is Richard Thaler (see
here).
A link to Atlas Shrugged is at the right. You'll find other reviews of the book on Amazon.com, but there are more reviews under
this version of the book.

Music Used in the Podcasts
I've decided to dispense with the use of a separate Shownotes file for each podcast. In the future I'll put the notes in the blog posting. Since the music I use in the podcasts, however, is always the same, I'll post the information here for your consideration
All music is performed by Kevin Van Sant, a North Carolina-based jazz guitarist. I think his music is great and would encourage you to visit his website
here.
The intro music is "Beautiful Love" by V. Young, W. King & E. Van Alstyne from Kevin's CD duet recording with Ben Palmer, entitled "Sessions".
The outro music is "Estate", B. Brighetti & B. Martino, from the same CD.
Occasionally I use a short interlude piece, which, appropriately, is called "Interlude" and was written by Kevin and the other artists on the "Sessions" CD.
If you decide to purchase one of Kevin's CDs, make sure you email him and tell him that I sent you there.
Thanks.
