Summary
We all need to stop worrying about who the Democrats will nominate in 2028, argues Bradley. Unless it's someone from the far Left, the main candidates are essentially interchangeable — structural conditions, not the picayune distinctions between them, will determine the outcome. Plus, Bradley and Hugo discuss what makes life worthwhile, trade basketball stories, and discuss why starting a band might be the answer to everything that ails us. Discussed on today's episode: Start a Band, Even if You’re Terrible , by Hugo Lindgren, The New York Times (03/22/26) Why Sweden punches above its weight in music , by Henrik Karlsson (03/21/23) The Web of the Game , by Roger Angell, The New Yorker (07/13/81) This episode was taped at P&T Knitwear at 180 Orchard Street — New York City’s only free podcast recording studio.
