I forgot to mention that I did another book interview with Tom Scholte for the Systems and Cybernetics New Book Network. The earlier interview was for “Controlling People” by Tim Carey and myself; this one is for an earlier book: “Doing Research on Purpose” by me. The podcast is here:

Tom Scholte is an excellent interviewer. I think I did OK though it was moderately painful for me to listen to it because I could always think of better ways I could have said things. I hope it’s not as painful for you if you choose to listen to it. But one thing I did learn from this interview is that I have to get a better microphone.Â
