Hey, and welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh and there's Chuck. And it's just the two of us today, which is fine because we need to keep our nose to the grindstone and really focus on a pair of really important episodes, which we kick off now.

72.509 - 87.622 Chuck

87.923 - 97.633 Josh

97.653 - 98.434 Chuck

Yeah, same.

98.474 - 127.061 Josh

James Earl Ray. Like, there's a lot of stuff around it. And it's just a reminder that history gets so boiled down to, like, its bare essence or even, like, a caricature of itself.
