Great guests! Preet's good too 😀

The interview with Heather Cox Richardson was one of the best single episode podcasts ever. Definitely grabbing a copy of her book.

Wow revelation! ,

Great interview with Heather Cox Richardson

That hour just flew by! I read her “Letters” daily & looked forward to this interview. WOW! I lived through Reagan (I was in college) & new how phony “supply side economics” is but she put everything into perspective in a way I appreciate greatly. I see now how this tendency to authoritarianism has shaped up. Thanks so much for this podcast!
