Debate starts at: 09:00. Singer, songwriter and creator Ali Spagnola (https://twitter.com/alispagnola) joins us for the debate this week, in one of the heartiest debates we’ve ever had on the show. Ron expected Ali to take his side, but did she? The phrasing of the previous sentence suggests otherwise. Plus we welcome our new sponsor to the show, Little Platinum Books (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/122830772/little-platinum-books-kids-books-that-wont-bore-ad?ref=ecnt4r).
