Two years ago, in podcast 151, we interviewed Ashley Rindsberg on “The Gray Lady Winked”, his book critiquing the New York Times.

At the time he was domiciled in Israel. The interview was peppered with the occasional sound of rockets.

With the recent outbreak of conflict, talking with Rindsberg again was an obvious decision.

We visit a very good Mailroom this week with Mrs Producer. Thanks, as always, to all of you who contribute.

Dr Paul Marik belongs to a group of physicians who have devoted their lives to their patients survival, and effectively been punished for it.

How can a man with a reputation as the “most published and influential clinician and researcher in critical care medicine in the United States" be forced from his career?

And we introduce a simple but useful addition to the podcast, after the Mailroom with Mrs Producer.

Kamala Harris, the Democrat contender for the U.S. presidency was the most socialist member of the Senate.

Further left than Bernie Sanders, she has more recently been tagged a Marxist.

But is she? In fact, what is she? That is the most asked question amongst undecided voters.

For answers, who better to consult than a Professor of Marxism. Michael Rectenwald was a devout Marxist until he saw the light and recanted.

After guesting on podcasts in 2021 & 2022, Rectenwald returns to give us answers to the above, and what a Harris administration would be like.

And, of course, The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
