Virginia Postrel has a high opinion of him, so unless you're a paleo or isolationist or more radically religious you'll probably like him.

Hi, xm177e2 - Hugh thinks highly of her, too, but I am not yet certain that I like her. Perhaps she is an acquired taste. ;)

Virginia Postrel is a capital "L" Libertarian. She's very bright; is the editor of "Reason" which is a really good magazine. I agree with her mainly on economic and privacy issues. She's extremely itelligent and it's always good to have a disparate opinion. That's what makes the show so interesting; the wide variety of personalities and opinions that Hugh so competently engages.

Plus he has literary segments that are quite educational.

Thanks, RonDog, for this thread. I was thrilled today when I was in my car; the radio station that carried him live in Tucson before he made the time change was playing a recent broadcast from earlier in the week.

Now I have to listen online, and I can't listen as much in the afternoon. Sorry, Hugh, but some of us have lives. :-) but I DO catch it every chance I get.
