Around here at O'Dark Central, we're all fans of Miles Davis, so we were pretty jazzed (get it? pun!) when the Views and Brews gang decided to do an extra-long show about the making of his seminal album Kind of Blue. That show was pretty great, featuring Rabbi Neil Blumofe and...

"Tell us how you do it, and don't spare any details, because nothing's as interesting as you and people like you!" It's nice to hear,...
