I am pleased to bring you what I believe is a groundbreaking (and long overdue) conversation about the interdisciplinary work of two luminaries of twentieth century thought: René Girard and Marshall McLuhan. The connections between these thinkers has not been adequately explored.

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
