I haven't been listening regularly to the podcast in some time but this episode caught my attention because Ben Norton is such a great and knowledgeable commentator. As expected it was a really good one. I don't mind them having more fluff-filled lighter episodes, but those are just not for me. I much prefer serious substantive episodes like this. They have also occasionally had guests on that i thought were fairly disappointing, so i hope that they keep bringing guests of this caliber.
