Necessary & Sufficient
By Evan FormanSociety & Culture
Necessary & Sufficient episodes
- 6: What You Like & What You’re Like with Michael IsaacMichael Isaac and I discuss an idea that I first came across in High Fidelity. Probably the most ruminative episode so far. Enjoy!https://duckandshed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/6_-what-you-like-what-youre-like-with-michael-isaac.mp30 min
- 5: Jewish & Goyish with Danny AbelsonA chat with the inimitable Danny Abelson on one of the subjects that inspired this whole project. Again, wait until after the closing theme for a little extra extra.https://duckandshed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/5_-jewish-goyish-with-danny-abelson.mp30 min
- 4: Appetizers & Hors D’oeuvres with Becky PhillipsThe last of three gastronomical explorations. I promise that next week we will go far afield of food, but in the meantime I hope you find this conversation with one Becky Phillips delectable. Make sure to keep listening after the theme music for a bonus feature.https://duckandshed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/4_-appetizers-hors-doeuvres-with-becky-phillips.mp30 min
- 3: Liquid & Dry Measuring Cups with Erin BarnettThis week, the second of three consecutive episodes dealing with the culinary sphere. Erin Barnett is the ultimate good sport in letting me beat a long-dead horse. I had a great time recording this one, and I hope you enjoy it even half as much.https://duckandshed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/3_-liquid-dry-measuring-cups-with-erin-barnett.mp30 min
- 2: Frosting & Icing with Julie GordonPodcast number two. The audio is, thankfully, quite a bit better than it was last week (I’m still learning to negotiate the technology here). I spoke with Julie Gordon, another old friend, about one of her many areas of expertise. Hope you’re enjoying these–if so (or if not) please leave a comment at duckandshed.net.https://duckandshed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/2_-frosting-icing-with-julie-gordon.mp30 min
- 1: Div & Mod with Sam ZieglerWell, here it is: the first episode of my new podcast project. I don’t want to say too much about form or content, for reasons that might become clear upon listening. This was a conversation that I recorded between me and my old, old friend Sam Ziegler. Please have a listen, and if you have any thoughts, please leave them at duckandshed.net.https://duckandshed.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/1_-div-mod-with-sam-ziegler.mp30 min
About Necessary & Sufficient
From the publisher's feed
Necessary & Sufficient exists as an exploration of ideas (including those of duality, bifurcation, and hierarchy), a meditation on communication, a map of my mind, and a document of its own creation.
Each week I record a conversation with a guest about a pair of related yet distinct concepts. The guest doesn't know about the topic in advance (I send them a set of index cards through the mail, which they open on-air) but I try to match up people with ideas that they will have some knowledge or opinion about. This isn’t a quiz, but an attempt to capture extemporaneous conversation and thoughts as they unfold between two people. Some topics are technical, some are general knowledge, but all are all open-ended in some way.
