Summary
It's our final podcast of 2017 and this one is a doozy. In the first half, we give you the round table we taped with Clare Foran (The Atlantic) and Alex Seitz-Wald (NBC News) on what it was like to cover Bernie Sanders in the 2016 election (a segment previously only available to our Patreon subscribers). To close out the hour, it's our January 2017 sit-down with Senator Sanders - taped just days before Donald Trump's inauguration. It's kinda eerie how many of the doom-and-gloom predictions Bernie made about Trump actually came true.
