Dining Late with Albert Speer Pt. 2: Sponsored by Pontiac

The conclusion of Peter's long lunch with Albert Speer, Hitler's architect, best friend and Minister of Armaments. A defense of curiosity, a consideration of evil's basic mystery, an exploration of the wonder and limits of confession...for Peter and Albert both. All things shining, all cups runneth over: this remains the finest podcast of an age both troubled and enchanted.

<p>Peter recalls his long lunch with Hitler's architect, best friend and Nazi Minister of Armaments, Albert Speer.

Cheese and Chat No. 10: Tea with Wernher von Braun

<p>Peter reads a memory of the time Nazi slave-driver and rocket engineer Wernher von Braun came over for tea, set to a song Ken Burns once used to make people feel cozy amid horror in history. And we chat: about America's decision to forget von Braun's war crimes; the modern legacy of "just following orders"; and Peter's fascination with the monsters who destroyed his parents' world. This podcast is a light unto the nations. </p>
