Episode #104: We’re Thankful for You

Because we're all spending Thanksgiving with friends and families this week, we decided to leave you with three past episodes that are completely timeless and worth another listen. We chat with former representatives Tom Davis (R-Va.) and Martin Frost (D-Tex.) about their new book, "The Partisan Divide: Congress in Crisis," and hear their suggestions about how to improve what is going on with lawmakers on Capitol Hill. Alan Schroeder, author of "Presidential Debates: 50 Years of High-Risk TV," brings us back to the 1960 debates between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon and compare them to the tone and substance of what we are witnessing in 2015. And former Vice President Walter Mondale talks about his run for president in 1984, everything from choosing Geraldine Ferraro as the first woman on a major-party ticket to his debates with President Ronald Reagan.
