Calendar.

This week's podcasts.

We recorded a number of podcast interviews last week, three of which “air” this week. The schedule is as follows:

Tuesday, 31 August: Rob Manfred, Commissioner of Baseball. We talk (mostly) about the business of baseball.

Wednesday, 1 September: Cade Metz, technology correspondent for The New York Times and author of “Genius Makers,” a great book about “the mavericks who brought Artificial Intelligence to Google, Facebook, and the world.” We talk about the book and where AI is taking us.

Thursday, 2 September: Joe Klein, probably best known for his work as a columnist for Time magazine and his novel “Primary Colors.” Joe did four “tours” of journalistic duty in Afghanistan. We talk a lot about that and then some more about Democrats, Republicans and the press.
