A Kerfuffle or a Brouhaha?

Don't matter what you call it. Ricochetti are a passionate bunch, and sometimes the fighting spirit takes over. Our first guests are Andrew Gutmann (hosts of the essential Take Back Our Schools podcast) and Ricochet member Michele Kerr who's had some strong criticisms of the fellas' takes on public education over the years. For those of you who like a little scrappiness on the flagship podcast: this one's for you! Next we bring on our favorite doctor (the kind that doesn't ask if the bruises are Covid related), Jay Bhattacharya! He explains how he became known as a fringey pseudoscientific quack and the ins and outs of Covid's last gasp. With Peter out, James and Rob steer the ship through a Musk-y hostile takeover, NYC's newest madman and the latest in Ukraine. And mark your calendars so you can join Rob for the America's Future pub crawl on May 14th! Members only: so sign up today! Music from this week's podcast: Adult Education by Hall and Oates
