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.

Welcome back in. podcasts. I've got some fun to discuss with you at the end of the hour my good friend Jesse Kelly balding

Radio host in the evenings here has taken issue with my haircut some of you are really big fans of the haircut.

I got an email from a nice woman who said,

Clay, I tuned into the Clay and Buck VIP

because I heard you talking about how bad your haircut was.

And I think she said it looked fabulous.

I'm going to track down that email to respond to these attacks that are

rolling in on a regular basis.

Ever since I got that haircut from the barber on the street in Washington, D.C. while I was up visiting

colleges with my 16-year-old.

Good thing about my hair, I'll just point out to Jesse,

Balding, afternoon radio host, evening, radio show host on this network.

Unlike a balding man, my hair will grow back, but we will discuss this a bit later.

In the meantime, Caroline Leavitt, who's going to join us at the top of the third hour of the program.
