Doublethink, from America's Future Foundation, has an "interesting" feature based on interviews with GMU economists (article here). The writer is a Dartmouth student.

At an Asian noodle joint in Fairfax, I asked faculty member Alex Tabarrok what he meant by “interesting,” to which he replied, “Initial surprise, followed by obviousness.” [...] I asked Tabarrok if GMU wanted to engage the world out of an impulse toward public service. He agreed but added that “we’re also honestly interested in the stuff we do with it. There’s a certain freedom that comes with setting aside other people’s ideas of what you’re supposed to do and just doing what seems interesting. You accept a little dissing, I guess.”

Other interviewees include Robin Hanson, Bryan Caplan, Ilia Rainer, Pete Leeson, Arnold Kling, Tyler Cowen.

As a rule, great film directors are far, far better at directing films than they are at giving interviews. There is some carry over here. But if you find the GMU approach...well...interesting, then it's a worthwhile read.
