Every Single Discourse Blog Interview
Or, as we call them, Discourses.
Hello! One thing we like to do at Discourse Blog is interview good and smart people about different stuff. Our nickname for these chats is “Discourses.” (Because our name is Discourse Blog, and we are talking, is the wordplay here.)
As a service to you, we’ve compiled all of the interviews—ahem, Discourses—we’ve done since we started this site. A lot of these were once housed in our email-only newsletter What Now (RIP) but we’ve now moved them onto the site itself so that they’ll have a permanent home on the internet.
Some of the interviews are behind our paywall. If you want to read every single one, just click the subscribe button!
We’ve arranged the list by alphabetical order of our interviewees; their names are in bold so that you can see all the cool people we’ve talked to! And we’ll keep this page updated every time there’s a new interview. Happy reading!
