This Podcast Is Going to the Dogs

About this episode

The episode discusses dog ownership, a proposed tax in New York, the relevance of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, and a controversy about air conditioning.

On this week's show: We joined in the discourse about whether dog owners have gotten too big for their britches . (Dogs are sycophants, I say — at least cats have self-respect.) We discussed the wisdom of New York’s proposed tax on fancy pied-à-terre apartments. Axios reporter Alex Thompson, who caused a bit of consternation at last year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner , joined us to talk about whether there should even be a White House Correspondents’ Dinner. And we even discussed a controversy that’s literally about air conditioning . Sign up for updates from Central Air at www.centralairpodcast.com . This is a public episode.
