Francis takes the helm again as we pilot a riverboat with legendary American author and wit Mark Twain. 

Francis takes the lead as the guys talk the 19th Century's number 1 quote machine, Mark Twain."

Holding world leaders responsible for their actions? Stunning. No more "I was just following orders."

Martin takes the reins and the guys talk creators and famous folks they have met or would really like to. Of course the offer of a bourbon to them all goes without saying. 

Martin somehow has the job to open the coffin on our fascination with vampire movies. We figure it goes beyond some pale dude that sparkles. Might have something to do with, I don't know, Jesus. 

Francis takes lead on an episode celebrating the craft of author Bernard Cornwell. 

Francis has Cornell West, Martin has John Milius and Robert hammers it home with Mark Cain in a morality and justice focused episode. Get deeper on the blog! 

Robert takes charge of a thoughtful and reflective exploration of one of history's greatest crimes, The Holocaust. Snakes & Otters says 'never again'. 

Robert takes charge and we do a third installment of our movies we always have to watch. We missed our chance to tag this one "Electric Boogaloo" but figured Mad Max would do just as well . . .

Martin has the conn and we talk orator, statesman and author Frederick Douglass who went from slave to man in Abe's ear. Robert gives some tips to Pulitzer Prize level biographers on how to write while we're at it.
