Thanks, Betsy. I think you get her. Toxic masculinity and reactionary politics are her biggest targets. If you ask me, the big takeaway was not the politics, but the realization that doing something meaningful that you enjoy -- not fame or approval -- is a luxury, and reward in itself.

As for swearing, as a lifelong potty mouth, I am hardly one to judge. Thanks for you attention! Cheers, Bob

Bob, this was not your finest episode. All I got out of it was a lot of profanity (which normally I don't mind, but Cindy's use seemed to be profanity for profanity's sake, not emphasis) and a lot of man-bashing. I'm sure Ms Kaplan is talented at a lot of things, but nothing she said moved me or convinced me to reconsider my thoughts on anything. That's why I listen to your podcast, and this one didn't do it. I confess that I got tired of her about a third of the way through and there may be a point that I missed.

You never disappoint. I’m starting to really like your idea of creating an entire show featuring “little knowns” and subway buskers.

C’mon Bob. You owe your audience your vote for the “greatest musical punch line” of all time. I and JRT await your response … with eagerness and some dread.

Bob, what is the greatest musical punchline in the history of the English language? Cindy's would be hard to beat.
