He has become insufferable with his podcast crew.

He has become insufferable with his podcast crew. Here it goes, I am going to agree with bbc about something. I don't listen to a lot of podcasts but have occasionally listened with my kids on long car rides. I find that most of the political ones, including Pod Save America, involve too many inside jokes and lots of self-aggrandizing chatter. When they get to the point, it can be OK, but I am not really interested in waiting that long. There are some interesting non-political podcasts about history, science, and the courts that I have heard and enjoyed but I don't want to listen to Favreau et al talk about two-day old news just as I don't need to hear Rachel Maddow or Sean Hannity every night. |

Don't generally listen to podcasts but when I do, it is "In The Past Lane," hosted by Holy Cross professor and alum, Ed O'Donnell. He will have a guest historian with him discussing interesting tidbits of history you might not know. Ed is the guy who ran the tour in NYC the weekend when HC played Fordham at Yankee Stadium. He also did his on-line lecture on the Irish in America. Very interesting and engaging speaker himself. Here's a link: inthepastlane.com/podcast/ |

O’Donnell’s current podcast is especially enlightening, yet discouraging. It deals with the strong influence of US race laws on the anti-Jewish laws of Nazi Germany

Pod Save America is pretty insufferable at this point. Pod Save the World, however, is a great look at foreign policy, much more even-handed, and is an extremely informative listen.

It is my understanding that the "science" of eugenics upon which the Nazis developed their theory of "race", was developed in the US by American scientists. Eugenics has been scientifically discredited in the scientific community. A good read on this topic: www.theguardian.com/uk/2004/feb/06/race.usaOne of those issues that many here in the U.S.A. don't like to discuss, admit to or teach etc. Not that we were the entire impetus for Hitler's beliefs on this, but we did provide quite the example from slavery in the 17th, 18th and 19th Centuries, Jim Crow Laws, immigration quotas/bans, racially segregated institutions etc etc etc |
