It’s a special
pre-election edition of HWX, with Brian Ward of Fraters Libertas and Paul
Happe, the Nihilist in Golf Pants.
Issues discussed include:
* A review of this past week’s focus on
Ricochet from NPR’s “This American Life”.
Also, the return of This Week in Gate Keeping featuring, coincidentally,
NPR and This American Life and their observations of James Lileks’s voting
preferences.
* A (quick) analysis of Evan McMullin’s chances
of eking this one out. Plus exclusive
audio of the new Evan McMullin-Mindy Finn campaign ad soon to be blanketing the
airwaves.
* “In the Bubble” with Marc Maron. On a recent episode of his WTF podcast he
gave his opinion of those who might be considering voting for Donald
Trump. We straighten him out on exactly
why perfectly rational and sophisticated voters would do just that.
