The show that gets you thinking more deeply about the Great Ideas and more. With Terry Roberts, Jeremy Spielman, and Zach Pritz. The format of the show follows our title; we think aloud about a great idea, discuss one of three texts that center on that idea, and end the episode with an offer to act on the idea discussed.
