Jay Gordon, Jesse, and I talked about a lot of very painful stuff in our 2 hr racism special. We are always open to criticism and responses from the public so please let us know and join the conversation.

ALL ideologies and perspectives are welcome here.

Tomorrow Jay Gordon will join us to talk about racism especially in movies and media but from an economic perspective. I guarantee we are going to go all out and probably say a lot of awful things about a lot of people so tune in };)

We will shamelessly self promote my wife’s new radio show and podcast called: Secrets of the Fairies  hosted by my wife Dr. Charlotte Trinquet who is a major academic specialist on fairy tales and how they reflect society and sometimes criticize it. It’s a fascinating topic with lots of anthropology, sociology, and, of course, economics.

Our daughter Thalia participates in the new program and if I will try to drag both my kids into the studio tomorrow.
