I'm back - well, at last for four more episodes. It felt good to get behind the mic again and chat with you all. I hope that we can bring some closure to this entity we've built that defies classification. Thanks for coming along on for the ride! On the

I'm typing this from the warm dry confines of my office in Santa Barbara. It's been sort of a gloomy week here, but with all the crazy winter weather happening around the country, I shouldn't complain. One thing I've been thinking all week was a comment l

This episode comes as sort of a surprise to me. I wrote last week that we didn't have a sponsor, then overnight I got word of a limited engagement with our friend Leonard Peikoff and here we are. Let's be clear, this sponsorship only runs until the end of

Prepping this show was an unexpected experience for me. Someone I respect had given me the idea to make this episode a soundtrack journey of my life over the last five and a half years. I knew immediately it was the right approach. As I started to go back

I realize that every news outlet in the U.S. has been dissecting the election results for the last 24 hours - and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. That said, I'm going to pile-on and weigh in a bit on what I think some of it means for ou

We're less than a week away from elections - I should be focusing 100% of my effort on that, right? Nope. I'm actually staying away from politics this week (mostly). I've said everything I can say to you. My hope is that you go to the polls with a clear h
