In this episode I discuss Sam's interesting Trump criticisms, his incredible steelmanning of his ideological opponents, and how he's *totally* uninterested in race. Very Dishonest of me to make this episode, I know. Here's the ep with Christian Picciolini I mention here, if anyone wants to check it out https://soundcloud.com/politeconversations/episode-48-christian-picciolini

I've been at a loss for words....so devastated and shocked by this sudden, tragic loss. I just spoke to him for my previous episode...I can't believe we won't hear another MB laugh again. It has been an honour to have laughed with him.I wanted to say a few words and share some of my favourite clips of Michael on Polite Conversations. RIP, friend.
