About this episode

The episode features a call-in format discussing various topics including the Thucydides Trap and current events.

We’ve been doing these shows where we don’t book any guests, where we fill the hour with your calls. And your calls have been interesting and surprising and amusing. This hour, the conversation winds around to the war with Iran, President Trump’s July 16 primetime speech, President Trump and FIFA and the World Cup Final, Hampshire College, Lucky on Apple TV, usage of words like “proxy,” the Thucydides Trap … Anything. (Seemingly) everything. These shows are fun for us, and they seem to be fun for you, too. So we did another one. Music featured (in order): Soarin’ – Ginger Root The Game of Love – Michelle Branch, New Radicals let’s go out and play – ganavya (this is very cool) Horns of a Bill – Fiona Apple I Belong to the Sky (Bright Side Mix) – Peter Gabriel Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos) – Margo Price, Joan Baez, Memphis Mariachi Join the conversation on  Facebook  and  Twitter .
