In GBA 145 we get even better acquainted with John Kingdom who is the father of my old friend Richard:

John talks about his interest in pianolas, engineering, being a project manager, living in the Soviet Union during the time that it was stopping being the Soviet Union, father and grandfather-hood and so much more. He also outlines his "compassionate conservative" views and presents his view of recent political history. It has quite a strange start and features a cameos from Richard, a pianola and a baby.

This is the second conversation in the Kingdom season which started last week with Richard #2. Next week I will air conversations with Nick who is John's son and Richard's brother.
