  • Annual Baseball Episode

    Back when they wanted suggestions for the name of the “new” Washington baseball team - I wanted them to be the Washington (Beltway) Bandits.

  • This should be required listening for students

    C-SPAN has been doing the rare work of unfiltered access to the people who run our country. I’ve never watched it on TV but a podcast is a terrific way to dip into the vast trove of content.

  • Gutless

    I’m tired of reporters and interviewers not calling out lies when they hear them. We’ll never get the truth if they don’t have the knowledge and the guts to question and require background information.
