Great interview -- and fascinating topic. I interrupted a(n in comparison, minuscule) home improvement project of my own just to listen to this.

Why thank you! That is the most flattering comment I have ever received about one of my interviews.
Really? People have been undeservedly reticent, then (including myself). It's not the first time that I've interrupted something to listen to one of your podcasts -- or kept the post open in a separate tab until I was able to actually listen to it and give it proper attention. I really like them -- they're informative, frequently make me want to acquire (and osmotically ingest) the books in question, and I really like the way in which you take authors through their own books.

Okay, now THAT'S the most flattering comment I've ever received! I almost never receive feedback on my podcasts, and at times it feels like they basically just go into a void once they're posted. It's nice knowing that they're being listened to and enjoyed.
They definitely aren't going into a void. :) Far from it!

Nathaniel Philbrick sounds like a nice person, btw. I liked how matter of fact he responded to your initial request to introduce himself -- no (not even an unspoken) subtext of "hey, I've written a few bestsellers, do you really think *this* is necessary?"
