Yes! Please continue - I always listen to the YouTube convo as audio only anyways which can be a bit cumbersome. I’d love to have it drop in my podcast feed. Thank you!

Brian Eno once commented (with regard to experimental music) “sometimes experiments fail”.

This one didn’t. Great job.

Audio quality somewhere between The Curse of Politics and The Docket. In the end, it’s the content that matters.

I’m looking forward to a whole series of podcasts from you two.

Agreed content is the focus. As they progress they can get the cool kids fancy mics and booms. Then mixer boards with compressors/gates/etc. Then sound treatments for the room. Maybe Jen and hubby can build some panels with Home Depot Rockwool, covered with pretty fabric. Matt can fill a bookcase with military history books, a Churchillian mancave.

I’m hoping you’ll devote considerable attention to the UCP leadership review results on May 18. Kenney is one slick operator and his “victory” last time around is still under investigation.

The audio from your YouTube videos is a great way to get your existing content on multiple platforms. Great move. I would subscribe to this. Next step, one dispatch per week is available as a podcast episode.

Please keep it up. I don't always have the time to watch, so "Dispatch on the go" is a great option.

Please keep this up. Keeping youtube playing for audio-only consumption (you both look fantastic - It's a practical matter) is very much a pain in the ass.

I'm a subscribed and happy camper with your audio and print commentary! Someone commentsed on context being important. I agree. Context can have a huge impact on a person's POV.

I appreciate the experiment an the effort put into it. I prefer the audio-only format as it makes it more accessible in more places for me compared to Youtube. I enjoyed it and all your insights, I would only ask that you work on the audio recording quality to limit background noise like your families talking and birds singing. All the right buttons appear to have been clicked, well done.

Very interesting and well done. Something to consider regarding the RAT testing. The delay in a positive result is likely due to a person's vaccine status. When vaccinated, you may become ill, but your body is fighting the virus. So when you test early with symptoms, you may not have produced a high enough viral load up your nose, to register until the end when load may be higher. Hopefully this same affect of not replicating the virua also reduces the likelihood of infecting others while you are "kind of" sick. Agree this is our new normal, be extra cautious around vulnerable people, consider masks if you are in super crowded rooms AND have vulnerable folk around, but generally, I agree, this where we are at and likely will be for a while. Vaccines are still important and a new variant could emerge and blow this new normal all to heck. Otherwise, be smart, stay safe and get back to life.

Enjoyed the conversation, and the context /background it gives to the writing. Please continue. It will definitely be added to my podcast rotation. For reference I have never watched the YouTube video you release, much easier to find time for a podcast.
