If T.S. Eliot were alive today, he’d be really, really old: 120 years old this Friday, to be exact. To celebrate, we have a new podcast interview with Benjamin Lockerd, editor of a new edition of Russell Kirk’s Eliot and His Age. Several years ago, I asked Kirk’s widow which of her husband’s books she liked the best, and she said this one. Bonus: The topic is about as far removed from Wall Street’s troubles as you can get.

(N.B. For those of you who tried to listen to the interview earlier this morning, please try again. We’ve fixed a technical glitch.)
