Canada2 months ago - Gun anecdote is in poor taste
I like this show and have listened for years, but starting off the Feb. 14 episode with a fun little anecdote about Lee Harvey Oswald ordering a gun is in bad taste. We have just had a school shooting in BC and the nation is in mourning. Could you not have swapped out that story for something else? You should take down the episode until you can edit the intro.
