My audio interview with historian Gordon Wood is now on NRO’s Between the Covers. He discusses the state of his profession and mentions the funny looks he received from his colleagues at Brown when Newt Gingrich started praising his books on the American Revolution.

While you’re at it, check out recent BTC interviews with other professors: April DeConick on the “Gospel of Judas,” Walter McDougall on 19th-century America, and Brian Fagan on climate change. The interviews are just 10 minutes long–you can listen to them here on NRO, or subscribe to them as podcasts on iTunes.
