Kwame Asante-Reid conducts Veyra’s longest interviews, usually across several sittings and rarely with anyone famous. The subjects tend to be builders in the literal sense — instrument makers, bridge engineers, archivists — chosen on the theory that people who work with their hands explain their thinking more precisely than people who work with slides.
