We're off the rails today on Morning Radio TBD! Josh and Ryan have a heated discussion over the state of the railroad industry through the framework of the disaster in East Palestine, Ohio. There's a freight full of opinions coming your way, so watch out for those red-blinking crossing signs: this one is coming in fast and heavy!
But also!
We extol the virtues of living vigorously and consuming pure food and drug thanks to our spiritually favorite president, Teddy "The Bull Moose" Roosevelt! It's our "President's Day" special with a chat about the 26th leader of the United States. A light touch on politics, but heavy on the mythology, Josh and Ryan debate whether, if Death had caught T.R. awake, who would have won that fight. In an unrelated discussion, your hosts suppose on whether James Garfield ate lasagna regularly.
AND! As our "Black History Month" segment continues, we take time to honor the towering literary figure Toni Morrison, and honor her life and work. In fact, if you're looking for a good read and a way to really stick it to the man, consider picking up one of our recommendations from her library, like "The Bluest Eye," "Song of Solomon," or "Beloved," all currently enjoy prominence on banned book lists all over the country. This episode was recorded on Toni Morrison's birthday, and we want to wish her a very happy birthday, with deepest thanks for her contributions to literature and culture.
It's a packed one this week, folks, so brew it tall and strong this morning and settle in. Morning Radio TBD is cominacha!
