Hosts Michael and Lee discuss questions culled from their blog, Intellectual Roundtable. With three brand new questions every week at the blog, there is now a sizable archive. These questions mean something special, in some way:

Michael loves to listen to music, and he loves to ask questions about music. Here is a question about your own musical choice, and what conclusions you might be able to draw about yourself based on it. Michael offers some specific lyrics from songs that support his answer to the question.
