MIT Press has been publishing academic literature for more than half a century. They publish over 200 books a year, as well as more than 30 award-winning journals. The MIT Press Podcasts, featured here, are posted about half a dozen times a year. In each episode, a newly published author is interviewed about his or her ideas. For example, in Episode 78, Jeffrey Pomeranz, a visiting professor at the University of Washington, answers queries concerning his book, Metadata, while, in Episode 69 the Romanian-born literary scholar, Marius Hentea, comments eloquently on his newest book, TaTa Dada: The Real Life and Celestial Adventures of Tristan Tzara. With dozens of interviews to choose from, on topics that run the gamut from architecture to physics and back, readers will find much to appreciate in this collection of podcasts from the MIT Press.
