EPISODE 10
Hello and welcome to episode ten of Conversations with my Conservative Dead Father. This podcast comes from direct transcriptions of the email exchanges my father and I had the year before he died. My father was a smart educated guy who happened to also be a conservative. As you might guess, I’m a liberal. These discussions create a forum I know he would proud to be a part of - even if there’s a dangling participle in that sentence. Sorry Pops!
We never tried to convince each other. Our objective was to learn and listen. It was a great gift to be able to hear the other side from someone who I very much respected, even if I totally disagreed with the conclusions.
So let’s get started.
