For me, that really worked.
We talked a lot about death.
I think the episodes where we talk about death are often the ones that stick with me the most because there's so little discussion, real discussion of death.
And BJ talks about death in a way that I've never heard anyone talk about it.
My favorites almost always involve death.
episodes that have a human connection.
Because as we've been hinting at, I have very few human connections outside of this podcast.
This has really been my primary way of making real connections.
One of the most unexpected episodes that was really powerful for me was Wendy McNaughton.
She's an artist.
I realized as I prepared to talk to her that I hadn't talked to an artist maybe more than once in the last 20 years.
And she hadn't talked to an economist, I think, in her whole life.
And the meeting of the minds, I'm not exaggerating, that I came out of that and I said, this is my soulmate.
Which sometimes happens when you interview people, you get this deluded feeling that you're really close to them, even though they walk out and never think of you again.
But then when I reached out to Wendy later, she said the same thing back.
Somehow we really connected in a deep way.
A lot of preparation.
And again, I learned that from you.
When you first interviewed me back 20-some years ago, you showed up at my door and you had read, or at least could credibly convey to me that you had read all 60 or 70 of my papers.
It was shocking.
