Listen "Ep. 24: B is for Bye, Bye Bernie and Bashing Team Biden and P is for Politics, Pizza and Pontificating the State of the US (Plus Bk 3, Chs 7 and 8 of "The Teacher and the Tree Man")"
Episode Synopsis
Sorry, folks, it had to be done eventually, a return to politics. U.S. presidential politics, in particular. But there's good news. Yes, this might be the last time this particular podcast ponders this topic. For my candidate, Bernie Sanders has dropped out and we've now got two candidates in Joe Biden and Donald Trump who seem woefully unprepared for the road ahead. So this episode finds me pontificating on why it is not only Biden, but the people around him, that make me lack any confidence in him, as I munch on some pizza next to a river, then you'll hear an essay I wrote for my blog, then a brief answer to the question: How many presidents consciously decided not to seek a second term, which I answered using this article. And last, as always, two more chapters from my novel, "The Teacher and the Tree Man." Today it is book 3, chapters 7 and 8. Enjoy!
