Presidential Candidate Ben Gleib

My great friend Donna Halper returns to the show to talk about the 1/6 committee, talk radio, and the latest news from the Justice Department. Plus we analyze Neil Peart's lyrics to a classic song by Rush called "The Trees," and how, even though it's a great Rush song, the lyrics warn that equality has unintended consequences. Donna is a professor of media analysis, a prolific writer, and a former broadcaster who introduced American radio audiences to Rush (the band). You can find her work at donnahalper.com and on Twitter.
