Happy 900th episode!
You know that they're gonna' use these podcasts in a made-for-TV series on Netflix, Hulu, and all the rest, right? Even then, we will still not be in the "club", despite being top rated by millions of TV viewers.
Good ad ideas, but ads only go so far. Come up with a way to trap the beleaguered attention of all of those "I don't pay attention to politics" folks, and then blast them with those ads, and we might be getting somewhere. The goddamn Republicans' idea to make politics so ugly and repellent that regular folks won't want anything to do with them turned out to be way easier than they even imagined, and I'm having a hard time imagining turning that around anywhere near soon enough to save our collective asses. What I feel like we need to do is switch up the default setting of "I'm checked out from the news so I'll support Fergus" to almost anything else than that. That feels like a heavy lift, but not out of the realm of possibility.
I don't know whether I've listened to every episode (there was a period of time in 2013 when we didn't have internet access and Briana went down to Cypress Auto where some of our friends live and downloaded episodes and brought them back on flash drives, bless her, but I may have missed a few then) but I did recognize all of the clips you went with today. Congratulations on 900 episodes!
Thank you again for the podcast. Briana is down in the East Bay working on our move to Humboldt County again, so me and the cat listened to episode 900 together.

Congratulations DGBG! I've been a listener since the beginning (I'm reasonably certain at least.) I'm so old I can't remember how I even came across you but I seem to recall reading your blog posts during the GW admin when I was starving for any left leaning media. I'm a proud subscriber to you both and it's great to see your podcast reach this milestone. Keep on keepin' on. We love and need you both.
