  • Interview with Peter Sandman

    Enjoyed the interview and PS views. His positions on the pandemic and Dr. Fauci were provocative and made me think about how it all came down. Can you have him back every six months or so as a revolving guest to explore his ideas further? Maybe he could on each visit comment on the most recent emergency incidents and the crisis comms responses, and critique what went right and wrong.
