Today I'm happy to be joined once again by my colleague, Christopher Bedford,

Senior Editor at the Federalist also of Right Forge, a tech executive, as we like to call Chris.

Bedford, welcome back.

Great to be here.

Bedford has now equipped with a podcasting microphone, a fancy podcasting microphone.

So you will be hearing his takes, his hot takes in CRISPR and clear sound than ever before.
