    NERD PROM - THE WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS DINNER

    Do you enjoy a little "action / adventure" with your White House Correspondents Dinner?  Well, have we got an episode for you!   A special note to y'all from your amateur clinical pundit: Having completed the writing and recording of episode six, season five, I was overseas on vacation. This episode was to be a short history of The White House Correspondent's Dinner to be dropped just before the WHCD on April 25. This year's WHCD was to be the first that MOTUS would attend as president - as he refused his invite to the previous five. That said, we know our audience is getting a little tired of hearing MOTUS with his pompous public lying so we were not really focused on his appearance. Nonetheless, adult beverage in hand, I tuned into CSPAN at the appropriate time  and watched pompous arrival of the head table and then watched with incredulity while CSPAN decided that they would cover the entire dinner during while guests ate...there were no speeches, just a bunch of gowned and tuxedo'd folk munching. We could have been watching the real estate Annual Top Seller banquet for all it mattered.  I couldn't believe it and commented to my posse that this broadcast had to be the pinnacle of bad broadcasting, in itself not unusual for CSPAN, but here they outdid themselves... Oh look here comes the salad course!   Dull dull dull.   Until it was the most exciting banquet dinner  I have ever seen on TV!  You know the rest.  We love hearing from you!

    AGE OF RAGE - THE CAROL OFF INTERVIEW

    We end season 4 with a lovely departure...a full length interview with author & broadcaster Carol Off. She is the former host of CBC's flagship show "As it Happens" where she interviewed 25,000 people in 16 years...Carol has the view of  a sage from 30,000 feet. Buckle up for take Off.  This episode marks the end of season 4.  We've been renewed and will be back in January of 2026 with season 5...until next time!  PS: In our interview with Carol Off we discuss the moments when the Bush (2) White House revealed that truth was optional.  As usual, American historian Heather Cox Richardson brings profound context to the backstory: From Heather Cox Richardson : Spin turned into a narrative that denigrated opponents as anti-American, and then into the attempt to construct a fictional world that they could make real so long as they could convince voters to believe in it. In 2004, a senior advisor to President George W. Bush told journalist Ron Suskind that people like him—Suskind—lived in “the reality-based community”: they believed people could find solutions based on their observations and careful study of discernable reality. But, the aide continued, such a worldview was obsolete. “That’s not the way the world really works anymore,” the aide said. “We are an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.” We love hearing from you! You can also reach us through email Matt.zimbel@gmail.com Support the show
