  • History as it should be

    I am so sorry Now and Then has come to an end, for myself and for the American voters who could use this dose of common sense that draws a clear line from the past to the present. People need to understand the past befire the can understanding the trajectory. Good fortunes in your future activies, Heather and Joanne. more

  • Brilliant show foolishly terminated

    It’s Wednesday, September 20; if management was operating with skill and intelligence, they would have made sure a new episode of Now and Then was available today and every week, and I’d be listening to Heather and Joanne’s latest insights right now.
