Timothy Flanders rejoins the podcast for a
freewheeling conversation in which he and Thomas interview each
other. Timothy talks about his upcoming book on Catholicism in
Russia, and then Thomas gives his thoughts on the place of jazz in
the Western music tradition, improvisation as an analogy to the
moral life, and the fundamental problem with AI music: AI has no
song in its heart.
