Earlier this year, a tweet went out from the official account of the Democratic Party, tagging the Trump advisor Stephen Miller. It was an image of what appeared to be a simple hotel room chair. But for those in the know, it was much more than that: ... more

- Good info, bad access
I listened to the LA riots season first and it had a ton of good info, I really enjoyed it. Don’t even bother with the watergate season unless you’re subscribed to slate plus, they literally don’t end the story they start unless you pay for it.

Canada2 months ago - Nixon and Duke seasons so good!
There’s something wonderful about viewing history and social trends through the prism of flesh-and-blood (and often very flawed) people. To my surprise, the David Duke season was my favorite so far. I knew next to nothing about him aside from what I learned during Trump’s first run. I’m hoping the Clarence Thomas one captivates me in the same way. The more topical seasons are solid but lack the same wow factor.
