He discusses a seal stone found at the site that he says bears imagery resembling a description in The Odyssey, his frustration with the way the discovery has been handled, and the new development that the site believed to contain Odysseus’s palace may finally be excavated.Later, John Zmirak joins Eric to discuss Milo Yiannopoulos, Islam and Christianity, immigration and free speech in Europe, and Gloria Steinem’s legacy.
