ModState.com The ModState Podcast

In making a comeback with Candace Smith and Jack DeViney co-hosting, this episode marks a fine return to form for half of the duo; while Candace acquitted herself well with a keen drive-by diagnosis of the insanity of the moment in Israel and Gaza, DeViney manages only to spring to life later in the episode.And, of course Donald Trump is among the topics for conversation. We'd be remiss to not, as the wise sage Mr. Trump himself once said, "Well, you know the wind only blows sometimes." And...he's not wrong!In any case, it's a return and a clear sign there's more ahead. We've missed y'all and will be back soon, with DeViney vowing to do better (or at least not kneecap Candace in the process while making Episode 282).
