I'm Ben Nadefaffrey, host of the history show The Last Archive, and I want to tell you about a new series we're running in our feed.

It's called The Dead Line. Six essays written and read by Jill Lepore,

the New Yorker writer, American historian, and founding host of our show.

These are incredible essays on everything from the history of Cryogenics to the Silicon Valley

Gospel of Disruption.

And at the end of each essay I interview Jill

about her craft as a writer. You can listen on the I Heart Radio app, Apple

Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. it's 800 941 Sean if you want to be a part of the program 136 days until

election day only 87 days until early voting begins it starts in Pennsylvania rolls out to all the

other states that have early voting and we're only six days away from fake news

CNN's debate. You know I have a lot of the details of this debate now that I've been able to get a hold of and I want you to understand something.

I'm not wrong in my prediction that this is basically a three on one debate I mean you have I have more quotes of fake Jake Tapper and fake Dana Bash and I'll probably scroll them tonight on TV because if I start reading it it'll take up

the entire opening monologue that I just don't have enough time and you know like

fake Jake oh Trump's presidency is a nightmare.

Oh, okay.

So we're supposed to believe that fake Jake is a journalist.

And I've discussed this many times.

There's nothing wrong with being a liberal talk show host.

He's, you know, I am a member talk show host.

I am a member of the press and yeah,

do we do journalism?

I have thousands of hours of straight news coverage
