Waaaaaay back in 2012, there was a little election for President of the United States.

And, on the night of the first debate we had a guest of great accomplishment. Foreign-policy sage and "inventor" of the Iowa Caucus strategy--Senator Gary Hart. Now, we're presenting it "throwback" style.

The big news? Senator Hart is also a novelist. We talk about his novel, Durango--and explore the current climate of political discourse, his relationship with Hunter S. Thompson, sports, the changing role of the media in political elections, and even his first car. (Yes, even the good senator has to go through an abridged Lightning Round.)

Enjoy an expansive political mind--and accomplish author--Senator Gary Hart.
