Today’s Between the Covers podcast is with Linda Bridges, co-editor of Athwart History: Half a Century of Polemics, Animadversions, and Illuminations: A William F. Buckley Jr. Omnibus. We discuss the challenges of cramming content into an anthology such as this, what Bill was like as a boss (Linda started working for him in 1969), and what Bill thought about Barack Obama.

I describe my own favorite section of Athwart History here.
