CLWPP Debates Sochi, Coughs Out A Fourth Episode

Despite missing a week, Canada's Least Watched Political Podcast managed to produce a fourth whole episode, which is about 400% more podcast than either Will or I expected to realistically complete when we first envisioned it. Also, people seem to be listening to it, which is a very strange phenomenon indeed.

In the latest episode we talk about the Ontario by-elections, and our producer Trevor gives a stirring piece on the state of historical education. We also debated the merits of an Olympic boycott. I'm for it, Will's against.

Normally when we plan to discuss a topic, Will and I hammer out a mostly-finished script in the day or two before we record. That way we know what we're going to say, when to raise counter-points, and avoid interrupting each other with interjections or strangulation. Sadly, this week we neglected to actually print a copy of the script and were mostly winging it during the session.

So in order to convince you of the merits of a boycott I've posted a slightly more coherent form of my argument over at The Gritty Gorg (available here), and Will has done his own over at Anecdotal Bloviating.

Thanks for listening so far!

-Greg
