Welcome to ThoughtCast, an online watering hole for ideas. Its focus is on conversations with authors, academics and intellectuals, and its sub-beat is ‘public media’ — a topic of personal interest to me! I’m Jenny Attiyeh, the host and producer. ThoughtCast offers something that is glaringly absent from the media today: a bridge between the publications and pursuits of the intellectual world and a curious, informed, mainstream audience. By providing detailed, unhurried and personal conversation with current writers and thinkers, ThoughtCast is that rare hybrid – a show that is both informative and engaging – a synergy between mass media and the ivory tower. Think of it as “Terry Gross comes to Harvard.” - Cindy
