Podcasts

When not plotting the outright purchase of one of the three branches of government or tinkering with the laws we've had since day one like the Electoral College, the dogs and I like to listen to other podcasts.

We don't have much choice. It's not like we can watch the news. 

Here are some of our favorites:

Every episode tackles one of history’s great minds, like George Washington, Abe Lincoln, Winston Churchill, Thurgood Marshall, and Queen Isabella.

You’ll learn things you never knew about these historical figures as they get rated on the Scale of Greatness. And you’ll learn things about the beers and cocktails that go best with your typical despotic overlord.

And if you listen carefully (or not even that carefully) you might notice that the show's host, Mr. DGMH himself, is the voice behind all the sponsorships on our show. 

It's got great history, great drinks, and phenomenal insights into some our most beloved--and not so beloved--great minds in history.

If you’re fascinated by the office of the American President and the men who held it, this show tells their stories, with both the pre-presidential career of each officeholder and how they left their mark on the office.

There are also episodes on some of the important other characters who played a role in shaping the American presidency.

Host Jerry Landry knows his stuff. And he has, on occasion, brought me on the show for a chance to teach me a few things.

Ever have a conversation about Bigfoot, UFOs, politics, Martian colonies, or whatever it is that Vladimir Putin is thinking?

Like meeting a fellow traveler at a roadside diner, the conversations on The Open Highway are interesting and thought-provoking, and the host is a guy who knows a little bit about everything, which always gets him into trouble.

There have been a few notable times where host Eric Erickson has REALLY gotten himself into trouble: check out the episodes where he invited me on (without the dogs) to rant about all those things I rant about.

Episode 10 - The Electoral Playground

 There are two ways to elect the President in this country. Well, only one that matters.  I warned you all in our first episode that I have been a lifelong holder of unpopular opinions, so here’s one.  It’s time to eliminate the Electoral College.  I take on one of my favorite Founding Fathers as the dogs and I open the metaphorical hood of the United States Constitution so we can tinker with America’s metaphorical engine one more time (and probably not for the last time) on this episode of I’m Not Allowed To Watch The News.

Episode 9 - Ben Franklin Bets on America

America’s wisest old man was writing his last will and testament. Benjamin Franklin had followed his own life advice and been frugal with his money, unlike some of the more debt-ridden big spenders of the Revolutionary generation like Thomas Jefferson, who asked the state of Virginia to let him conduct a lottery in order to pay off his $170,000 in debt, which would be about two million dollars today. And this in spite of his free labor force and a number of high-paying government jobs. He had plenty of people to leave his fortune to – his son William Franklin, former royal governor of New Jersey. His grandson, Temple Franklin, who had been Ben’s secretary during the negotiations with France that got the colonies some much-needed assistance with that whole “give the British a whuppin’” thing. Sally Bache, his daughter. Benjamin Bache, Sally’s son. Or even his sister Jane Franklin. Everyone in the family got a little something. William got debt-forgiveness for all the money he had borrow

Episode 05 - If It's For Sale Let's Buy It

The dogs and I are starting a GoFundMe campaign to raise five billion dollars. We have a pretty big purchase in mind.   We’re going to buy the Congress of the United States.   Get your credit cards out and start making your legislative wish lists, as the dogs and I plan to purchase one of America’s three branches of government on this episode of I’m Not Allowed To Watch The News.
