Broad Gaugers: Prohibitionists v Prohibitionists
This episode has it all- except Dennis, so it basically has nothing.
We revisit the Prohibition Party for a look at death theft, historically black colleges, and too much violence against women. It's not a particularly cheery episode this time around, but it is terribly interesting (and I do mean terribly.)

Journalist: Birney v Mondale
This episode gets a little punchy, but what else would you expect when discussing a cut-up like Walter Mondale?
The fellows talk about being a journalist, the value of being disliked, and whether Alabama or Ohio is more hostile to anti-slavery rhetoric. Also everyone in America sounds like a Dickensian lord for inscrutable reasons. It's very much what you've come to expect.

Job Seeker: Romney v V. Debs (w/ Aaron Butler)
Dennis and Aaron are both in the midst of looking for new occupations and so they convene to discuss which presidential candidate they think would handle the rigors of selling themselves the best. Will it be the man who would later reincarnate into Bernie Sanders Eugene V. Debs or the marzipan-smooth lovable gadfly Mitt Romney?

Strategic Pause: James Walker
Presidential Death Match is going to skulk around the edges for a few weeks as we take a strategic pause on fully produced episodes. Still, we hope to bring you a few shorter stories from history like today's about John Walker a man so unknown that there is no confirmed picture of him I could find.
John Walker was the second presidential nominee of the rebirth of the Anti-masonic party and through him we question changing values and the human desire to pin blame on the secretive other!
Who are those dudes to the left? Clockwise from top left:
William Morgan- man who’s disappearance triggered the first anti-masonic party.
William Wirt- first nominee of the anti-masonic party in 1832
Thurlow Weed- prominent Anti-masonic member who was later an important thorn in Millard Fillmore’s side (as seen in God Kings III)
James Walker- but not that one! Former president of Harvard, dead before our James Walker ran for president
Little Baby Millard Fillmore- associated with the anti-masonic party and later President, I guess?
Charlie Adams- Son of John Quincy Adams and nominee of the second Anti-masonic party.

Kolache: Bell v. Badnarik (w/ Lauren Hainley)
In an episode that's coming to you live from whenever and whereever you listen to it we decide to talk about a distinctly Texan culinary treat: the kolache. Along the way learn about silent film stars, The Libertarian party of 2004, and one of the many Bells that make up American life.
