Ep 18 Death Penalty Abolishment with Dale Brumfield
I've been on a death penalty kick. I read and obsessed over The Bet by Anton Chekov months ago. That story led me to looking into solitary confinement and attempting to rewrite my own version of the story. I ended up reading and really liking The Executioner's Song by Norman Mailer. Researching ideas from Mailer's book led me to Dale Brumfield.

Dale recommends reading Closing the Slaughterhouse: The Inside Story of Death Penalty Abolition in Virginia for a history of the death penalty in Virgin.

Ep 16 Bryce, Is He Right Enough
Bryce has been classified as the right wing nut job in my friends from back home group chat. He denies the claim. When surveyed by the Pew Political Typology Quiz, Bryce scored a stressed sideliner which is left leaning. The chat group was skeptical. In episode 16, I vet Bryce to see if he is a right wing nut job or a stressed sideliner. What do you think?
