This week, we call of a couple of our most popular podcasters to help us parse the week's events: Michael Graham, the Boston based host of or daily podcast Michael in the Morning sits in for Peter Robinson, while Michael Stopa from the Harvard Lunch Club podcast stops by to talk about how the President is doing so far (and yes, he and Rob Long get into another one of their epic rap battles). Then, the WSJ's Jason Riley joins to discuss kneeling in the NFL and his new book False Black Power?. Finally, a librarian in Massachusetts doesn't like Dr. Suess.
