Summary

To celebrate the announcement of the upcoming launch of Peach Fish's newest podcast, Not Even Mad, in this installment of Best Of The Gist, we are replaying Mike's January 18, 2017 interview with Heather Hendershot. Heather watched nearly 1,500 episodes of William F. Buckley's pioneering TV show Firing Line, and though she still doesn't agree with Buckley, she admires how he created a place for high-minded argument. Then we will listen to some bonus content from Mike's Thursday interview with David Priess, former CIA intelligence briefer and current Publisher of Lawfare about the work of the January 6th Committee. Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara Email us at thegist@mikepesca.com To advertise on the show, visit: https://advertisecast.com/TheGist  Learn more about your ad choices.
