This week we make a conscious decision to lighten the mood a bit after last week’s slog through issues of guns and child murder, and definitely not just because we spent all week focused on YOUTH SPORT rather than preparing for a show in line with our usual high standards. Whatever the reason, we’re explaining inside jokes at great length, doing a Little League Season Recap, discussing Dave Weigel’s suspension from the Washington Post, and are quite skeptical about the upcoming televised January 6th committee hearings. Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it on Facebook or Twitter, leave a comment on the show’s page on our website, or you can send us an email here. Enjoy!
