Who is this boring guy on Air America now
Seder was doing fine until he put this monotone guy on. Who is he? It makes the show sound like an NPR program:

"subcommitte B, to plan the implementation of the policy..."

Wonk if you like policy! :boring:

6. Is it Lapham? If so, he wrote an article in Harper's that's worth a read.
I thought I saw a thread saying he was on. He might be boring to hear, (I'm not sure--I'm not at a place where I can listen to it), but the article is a good read.

I don't know if the actual essay is up online anywhere, but here are some links to Harper's so you can at least see it:

3. I'm not listening to AAR, but...
while I agree that we need to focus on ideas rather than policy, it is important to know what is happening and why.

It may be a little boring, but the effects of policy decisions touch all of our lives, every day.
