Right to be Forgotten: Madison v. Buchanan (w/ Jessica Kelly Garrett)
James’ Madison and Buchanan in discussion on the war of 1812
Growing digital storage capability and instanteous global connection mean that we're forgetting less and less and blaming more and more. Recently there is a movement to recongize a right for all people to "oblivion" or to be "forgotten" that is to say, the ability of people to remove or delist information which they believe no longer accurately represents who they are and which may impede their ability to lead a normal life.
Jessica Kelly Garrett joins us to discuss this movement, it's pros and cons, how it applies to public figures, and which presidents may have taken advantage of this if it were offered to them.
Also we talk about a toddler's language skills and views on color theory.
It's a jam packed episode of Presidential Death-Match that we hope you enjoy!

Inaugurations: Johnson v. Reagan
Carol Channing, Woody Allen, and Julie Andrews on break from rehearsing the entertainment for LBJ’s inauguration.
We talk inaugurations! Which turns out to be less fun than we thought. Still though, it's a great night.
Recorded before Biden's Inauguration (so we're cautiosuly optimistic of the events of that day,) we spend quite a lot of time wrapping up the discussion of the last two episodes before diving into the bland ceremony that is inauguration.
Dennis pulls some underperforming states out of his hat and we have a special visit from our Obama Inauguration correspondent, Carolyn Cooper (She's very fancy, you know.)

Production Meeting: Goals for 2021
In our first live Production Meeting of the year Steven and Aaron discuss their goals for the company in 2021: Aaron wants to pay down the debt, Steven wants to create new forms, tan crop tops are mentioned!
Altogether it is a good look at theater managing expectations and staking claims as to where energy should be directed in a still uncertain world.
