Listen Later

This week on Curmudgeon's Corner, Sam and Ivan talk about the pandemic and about politics. Surprise, surprise, surprise. Nobody would ever have guessed that. Specifically, some chat on the economic impact of the pandemic, the free tests, the free masks, and what the Democratic agenda looks like after the failure of the voter rights legislation, as well as current status on the various investigations going on in Washington. Before all that though, some chat about computers, cars, and Ivan getting Covid. And concern for a long time listener.
