Interview with R. R. Reno

R. R. Reno, editor of this very magazine, was interviewed by Glen Lewerenz of Relevant Radio on March 27, 2012. The discussion begins with Reno’s April “Public Square” piece, entitled “Relativism’s Moral Mission,” and branches out to related topics including contemporary Supreme Court cases, fatty food fatwas, and the post-religious craving for “neo-Puritanism.”

Here is a YouTube copy of the audio , the quality of which seems fairly well-preserved (though we have no idea who curated the rather literal parade of background images).
