Hickman: Wallace v Moderation
We're not all better but we all are back! A still raspy Aaron and still magnificent Dennis bumble their way through the crazy story of Henry Wallace the Democrat's once (and future?) standard bearer.
They dive into the life of a person who couldn't wait for politics or soviets and ended up losing his political power because of it. This is one of the more interesting vice presidents (not saying much,) so we hope you enjoy it!

Free Agency: Palmer v Loyalty
Oh these lonely days and nights with nary a Budde to hold close. When desondant such as I am I like to think back to the story of ol' John Palmer, party crasher extradionaire.
With politics becoming more and more about loyalty tests and circling the wagons for one's team Aaron looks at the life of one man who held policy over party, paid the political price for it, but never seemed all that bothered.

Taxpayers: Georgists v Nominee
For the first time Aaron can't find anything about a candidate! Who was Robert Colvin Macauley? The world may never know, but what we do know is what he stood for, and that's something Aaron accidentally knew about before he started an impromptu recording!
We also throw Howard Phillips of the US Taxpayer (now Constitution) Party in there for good measure.

Comeback: Hughes v Retirement
Still in the midst of our not-quite-a-break comes the story of what may be the greatest political comeback in American history. The story of Charles Evans Hughes as inspired by Sarah Palin's decision to jump into the open Alaskan house seat race.
Supremo: Ellsworth v Notoriety
Aaron wishes he had a team of friends like the Supreme Court as he flies solo again this week. Taking inspiration from the recent Court Vacancy he talks about the guy who started it all: Oliver Ellsworth, the founding father behind the scenes doing the difficult work of actually writing the laws that formed the judicary of these United States.
