IAN WANTS TO LEARN w/ Patrick and Ian (recorded 6/18/21)
FINALLY the Bay of Pigs episode. Ian has been wanting to learn a bout the Bay of pigs for... How Long? HOW LONG!? But now he'll learn. And maybe you will too... or maybe not. It's all good. We aren't experts. We just talk Castro, Kennedy, Some painted planes and mistimed reinforcements. And then they cap it all off with a Peep Show (British television sitcom. 2003-2015. Highly recommend) lifestyle like pact. but again, Bay Of PIGS!
You wanna know? Well give a listen! We'll get around to answering all that in a vague, roundabout, chit-chatty sort of way.
It'll be fun.
