an easy listening version of Jeffrey Alexander's new article?

I'd been wondering why web editor Jon Smajda was making like Easy Reader lately, ambling around the office with his nose in a book. Turns out, the Office Hours podcast lab is experimenting with an audiobook format, in which listeners can hear Jon read Jeffrey Alexander's new Contexts article "Heroes, Presidents, and Politics" in its entirety. If you like, let us know. And if you aren't a regular listener, you might stop by to hear the wicked-good new interviews with U.S. Census Director Robert Groves, Juliet Schor, Jeremy Freese, and a cavalcade of star social scientists.
