    Thanks for the reminder of all that is awful in Brooklyn.

    Marker for myself to remember to look up the Political Beats podcast.

    Another great episode. @exjon , have you heard anything by Gazpacho? A Norwegian band that I think you would like. Their just-released album, Soyuz, is fantastic.

    @exjon I listened to the Political Beats episode on The Smiths and it was outstanding. I’m really looking forward now to hearing your take on another of my favorites, New Order.

    When I met Jon Gabriel and Stephen Miller at the Ricochet/AEI Podcast Summit, I said I wished they would become the hosts of a new “Red Eye” style show on FOX News. I stand by the statement.

    I hope so. I could overcome my repugnance with Fox News enough to watch that show.

    Are they calling her Wendy Wasserman-Schulz on purpose?

    Stephen. When did Debbie Wasserman Schultz change her first name to Wendy? Or has something new been added?

    I think Stephen is just bad with names. He also mentioned that Jack Ryan’s sealed divorce records were printed by the Chicago Tribune when he was running for the state Senate against Barack Obama (it was Jim Ryan, running for the US Senate).

    Can anyone listen to these band deep dives you’re talking about – if so, where are they?
