Pirates!: Frémont v. Blaine
If Congress is the Spanish Armada of American politics: too large to be nimble and mostly irrelevant today, then the presidency is certainly the pirates of American politics: we like them even though they're riddled with scurvy.
Dennis and Aaron compare the romantic western explorer John Frémont and the luxoriating, big spender James G. Blaine in which failed Republican candidate would be the most likely to plunder booty should they be given the chance.

PM 86: The Agony of Production
Many moons ago Sandra and Aaron sat down for her to ask some burning questions about online production in general and Space Train in particular. What begins as a normal discussion about trains in space soon blossoms into a dark gazing out a window into a torrent of content and obligation which never ceases. It’s a fun time.

Irrelevance Then Decline: The American Prohibition Party
The Prohibition Party is America’s oldest non-major party fielding a candidate every year without fail since 1876. The party lived to see their main goal be enacted into law, then rescinded as its unintended consequences wrecked the law, order, and stability the party ostensibly fought for, and it did this all without ever gaining major electoral success.
Dennis and Aaron dive into the history of the Prohibition Party and a number of its presidential candidates through 2020.

PM 85: Building a Better Space Hospital
Last week we spun up a whole new universe of characters in the form of Space Hospital! The process mirrored the initial creation of Space Train in many ways and since we didn’t have a podcast then we thought we’d walk you through how everyone’s favorite(?) irresponsible doctors were birthed forth!
