Summary

On the Gist, refocusing our attention to local democracy. In the interview, Mike talks with Seth Stevenson, author of Grounded: A Down to Earth Journey Around the World and host of Slate's newest business podcast Thrilling Tales of Modern Capitalism.

And yes, the expression "poop cruise" is mentioned. In the spiel, objectivity as a punching bag.
