Podcasting through the dog days of a slow news summer has us discussing RFK Jr’s curious ideas about THE JEWS, why governments enforcing speech norms is bad, actually, a silly upset about a Tracy Chapman cover, and CBS’s great Mark Strassmann heads to Panama City to scold the riptide heroes. 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!
