This episode of America’s Most Trusted Podcast® is notable for both who shows up and who doesn't. But James Lileks is our rock, welcoming our own Bethany Mandel into the co-host's chair, and Dr. Samuel Gregg author of the upcoming book, Reason, Faith, and the Struggle for Western Civilization.

Then Bethany and James delve into the miniseries, Chernobyl, and explore their, er, generational differences.

Music from this week's episode: "When I'm Sixty-Four" by the Beatles.

    I was wondering about the cover photo until I got to the end. Great job, @EJHill.

    And @bethanymandel, you kids these days drop all your "ions." Disconnect is a verb. The noun is disconnection. (I used to say, "You wouldn't say you made a connect," but then one day I heard someone say that. 😠) Elect is a verb. The noun is election.

    Now, get off my lawn!


    Also, born the year of the Challenger and Chernobyl Disasters? And you have children? I should call the police on your husband.

    The How Ridiculous guys on YouTube call it the 44 Club for their fans. Early on one of the guys announced that 44 is his favorite number at the very end. For awhile only those in the know caught references to 44.
