The difficult second episode. Features a discussion of the New York Times's piece, "At N.Y.U., Students Were Failing Organic Chemistry. Who Was to Blame?"; an interview with Gareth Russell about his book on the Queen Mother; and the very first—dun, dun, duh!—Q&A.
On this second episode of The Charles. C. W. Cooke Podcast, Charles considers what would happen if NYU students got their way, and the study of organic chemistry became more akin to the study of English Literature; interviews Gareth Russell about his new book, Do Let's Have Another Drink! The Dry Wit and Fizzy Life of Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother; and does his first Q&A section, answering questions about the drinking habits of the British (on TV and in real life), his favorite sport, and how long it took him to prepare for that mammoth Beatles two-parter on Political Beats.
