As our nation strolls towards financial catastrophe with the debt ceiling negotiations, we ask Professor Kathleen Day the hard questions: What is the debt ceiling? And should we be negotiating it at all? And then: we’ve got a new website, and you’re using it not just to buy our incredible swag, but also to share your feelings. Which we will now share with everybody. It’s Mailbag! NobodyListensToPaulaPoundstone.com Edition.

Ep 254 - Hitting the Debt Ceiling with Kathleen Day

Join Paula Poundstone, co-host Adam Felber and a long list of characters, real and imaginary, on Nobody Listens To Paula Poundstone, a podcast taking the fun of a late-night show, the wit of a public radio show, and the knowledge of a guest expert while setting the volume to the max. Acerbic yet infectiously funny, Nobody Listens To Paula Poundstone invites listeners into the audience of this absolutely ludicrous variety show, if they can follow along…or not.

Comedy

Author Jonathan Taplin is here to talk about his book, “The End of Reality” and the four billionaires who are trying to bring on that end. And speaking of ends, we’re on the receiving end of your thoughts, and they go straight to our head. It’s “Mailbag! Concussion Edition.”
