January 28, 2021Episode 40: Right to be Forgotten: Madison v. Buchanan (w/ Jessica Kelly Garrett)Growing digital storage capability and instanteous global connection mean that we're forgetting less and less and blaming more and more. Recently there is a movement to recongize a right for all people to "oblivion" or to be "forgotten" that is to say, the ability of people to remove or delist information which they believe no longer accurately represents who they are and which may impede their ability to lead a normal life. Jessica Kelly Garrett joins us to discuss this movement, it's pros and cons, how it applies to public figures, and which presidents may have taken advantage of this if it were offered to them. Also we talk about a toddler's language skills and views on color theory. It's a jam packed episode of Presidential Death-Match that we hope you enjoy!

January 21, 2021Episode 39: Inaugurations: Johnson v. ReaganWe talk inaugurations! Which turns out to be less fun than we thought. Still though, it's a great night.

Dennis pulls some underperforming states out of his hat and we have a special visit from our Obama Inauguration correspondent, Carolyn Cooper (She's very fancy, you know.)
