    For movies with the loss of purpose angst, the first to really address this was Wyler’s “The Best Years of Our Lives.” I dislike the film in many ways but Dana Andrews walking through the aircraft boneyard was the first thing that came to mind when I heard you guys talking about the feeling of loss of meaning.

    Though not for this episode, I was excited that you were seeming to go with Smetana's The Moldau for your intro music...you may still be feeling this out, but I hope you stay in the classical realm. 👍🏻

    Am I the only one to think that Sarah's feminist schtick is kind of grating? Though normally she refers to it only tangentially, it was on full display in this episode. Look, I also think Zero Dark Thirty is a fantastic movie and have seen it several times, but it is hardly a paragon of feminism, especially when you contrast it to the actions of the real-life "Maya", particularly after the events of the movie. You didn't even quote the easily-verifiable, beyond all doubt, best "in-your-face" line of the movie - "...ok, 95% because I know how certainty freaks you guys out! But its a hundred." That movie is great precisely because it eschewed all of the BS politics and went for realism over romanticism.

      No you're not the only one...but actually I think she is more likeable with each episode. It seems to be settling down and her sarcasm is less off-putting. I wonder if she was initially feeling like she had to prove herself. In fact, there was a segment in the second episode that I wondered if David was rethinking his commitment to The Dispatch. I used to listen to French and Desanctis regularly and thought they had an excellent combination. (BTW, Hey Dispatch, I hope you tried to steal her from National Review....) I will admit that Sarah is growing on me though. I think she is starting to realize perhaps, that her ability to articulate an intelligent and intellectual arguement will get her much further with this audience than that faux-edgy style employed by some of the cable-news stations.

    I enjoyed it. I agree the sound quality has improved. I would like a higher base volume. On the Bluetooth speaker, I can make it loud enough, but on my phone's speaker, it was just barely.

    Good listen. The audio was good too but as you were in the same place I'm sure it was a little easier to produce.

    I look forward to listening later today. It will be a somber solemn event and no podcast is above the law.

    Sarah, Could you share again the name of the book you mentioned regarding Andrew Johnson's impeachment?
