Excellent as always, Russ. Also Ross Douthat: just excellent. But I didn’t think to write until I heard Jonathan. Thanks for your podcasts, listened to in Wyoming.

I really appreciate the human, real life stories Russ present. I started listening over 10 years ago, feeling like I should be more versed in economics. I don’t listen to every show, but man…He drops some gems. The most current episode resonated with me quite a bit. Just keep doing what you do Russ.
John & Paul Episode
Apr 8
If you’re a Beatles fan there is nothing new that you didn’t already know in the discussion. And Russ, no: The Beatles did not do “ a lot of drugs”. You would know if you were a Beatles fan. If you’re a Beatles fan Ian Leslie book offers nothing new or insight. For real insight watch “ Get Back” to see and hear Paul and John interaction that producer Peter Jackson brilliantly captures John and Paul’ relationship which is captivating for Beatles fan.
