Welcome to this episode of the award-winning Best of the Left podcast.

This is a sample of our recent bonus episode, usually only available to members.

These episodes are comprised of our crew of researchers, Amanda and myself, all getting together for a roundtable discussion on topics that we find interesting.

As part of a membership drive that we do a couple of times a year, we have discounted

memberships and they're available to give as gifts.

And the people you give it to will love you for it.
