Jay,
You are, by far, THE Best of the Left! It always makes me feel better to hear the BotL music and then your voice, as well as the stories on the theme you have chosen for the podcast. I knew I’d found the correct podcast when I saw Hippie Sympathizer, or something along those lines.
You spoke about a teacher talking with his class about climate change, a class of mostly conservative students according to their family beliefs. Once he spoke about it to his class, they could go home and talk to their families about it and maybe change some minds. I am comparing this to when we elected President Obama. If I am recalling correctly, lots of younger people, some who weren’t even old enough to vote, went home and changed their parents’ minds. It’s not that far fetched.
All of that is true except the teacher was actually giving a lecture on the Park 51 (mosque) “controversy”. I just happened to tell that story on the following episode that was about climate change. Thanks for the note!
Review on ITunes
Just a suggestion for Jay:
Could you put the dates that clips were originally aired next to the act titles on shows? When the clip refers to “last monday” or “this weekend” I would like to have a reference to go by.
Love the podcast. Keep up the good work.
