  • a wild ride

    I was 10 years old in 2004 and was only partially aware of politics (every adult I knew hated Bush and the Iraq War so I was kind of insulated from the jingoistic national mood) and this podcast is a fascinating excavation of that era. Will is genuinely doing some media preservation work here. Listening to this podcast feels like whatever the unpleasant version of nostalgia is, but it also makes me laugh, so thanks for that!

    I feel that Will gets a little judgy during the judgement free segment sometimes. Otherwise, basically flawless!
