Curmudgeon's Corner

2023-08-11: Quicker Slower

Listen Later

On this week's Curmudgeon's Corner, Ivan returns from his extended absence to join Sam once again. They start out with recapping the dramatic events that kept Ivan away, followed by a book review before jumping into politics with all four feet. On that side they have climate change, the latest Trump news, implications of the Ohio ballot results, and finally worries about political violence. And that be that.
