Corruption, doomers, Nathan Fielder

Podcast with Robert Wright

Robert Wright and I meet every two weeks or so to discuss the issues of the day. This is a joint production of Small Potatoes and Bob’s Non-Zero Podcast. Here’s the most recent meeting. 

This discussion is audio-only because someone (not me) INSISTED on switching from Zoom to Zencaster and then pressed the wrong button when recording.
