The podcast is very polished and well done. Carlson asks goof questions. There is clearly an antigun bias as expected in a show focusing on gun academics but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Antigun academics tend to say things they might not admit when they are with an interviewer they are comfortable with such as Andrew Mckevit’s admission that he would like to ban handguns.
