    #007: 2016 = 1968 ++++
    2016/05/24
    In 1968, something was wrong with America. Incredible turmoil in cities, an unpopular war abroad and a president who couldn't fix what was wrong. The election that year was disruptive and its echoes can be heard today. Marc interviews Michael A. Cohen, whose new book, American Maelstrom: The 1968 Election And the Politics of Division, provides a groundbreaking look at the political decisions that shaped that cycle and offers his predictions about what to expect in November.

    #005: Diary of a War Correspondent
    2016/04/08
    Christian Stephen is one the coolest guys you’ll ever meet, a 21-year Brit with a sexy accent, is also an award-winning conflict journalist who suffers from PTSD. And he spoke with me right before he got kicked out of a country – this country – because he’d traveled too often to Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan and whatever ISIS calls their territory these days. What drove him, when he was just a teen, to rebel by going to the West Bank? Does he have a death wish? What drives him to danger? And what has he learned about the world?

Marc walks through how to not over or under-interpret what happened.Then: a master class in Donald Trump. Why? Who? How in the hell? And why, when he angers people like me, he wins supporters among people who don't think like me. Finally, Marc brings you a quick and crude guide to a contested Republican convention.
