One thing about this specific episode is that it manages to be scholarly and "European" in tone while remaining socially relevant in a U.S. context.

He years ago wrote an eloquent defense of him that might be available online from the LRB. A while back, in Open Source's former incarnation, I suggested a series of shows about Europe, enlisting those who know something to tell us something about an important place we tend to thing we know something about, but rarely do (count me in).
