Professional Left Podcast Episode #813: No Fair Remembering Bill Buckley And The Power Of Myth

* POP POP POP * ^_^

Good morning y'all - great to hear you.

BG's "pop pop pop" and DG's re-read (with a bonus "pop pop pop") remain in the published cast starting at 6:03. Totally doesn't hurt the feel and flow, and in fact it humanizes y'all to us other hoomins who have actually, you know, done podcasting stuff as well. Don't know if you want to change it (and you totally don't have to make this comment visible), just wanted to let you know it was there.

Also, once I've listened to the whole cast at least once, consider it shared. (I'll let you know once done.)

Stay safe y'all. Thanks for all you do.
