Loved Mel's interview with Alex Sanfilippo who founded PodMatch. Alex's enthusiasm & obvious joy in describing PodMatch makes it clear this is not a job for him but a passion. Wonderful to hear the shoutout to Clark who is an absolute peach! Fantastic job Mel; congrats on your 100th episode! 😀

When David Brooks joined the conservative movement in the 1980s, there were two types of people: those who cared earnestly about ideas, and those who wanted only to shock the left. The reactionary fringe has won, Brooks writes.
