S2E2: Howard Woodruff (video)
After a long break, a return to the conversation with Howard Woodruff, another high school friend from Williamsport, PA (class of 1979!). This begins a video version of the podcast. The audio version alone is here.As I mention in this version, I’m keen to open this model of conversation up, so that there would be multiple threads like mine with Howard (and Ben before). What it needs is someone to help collect the conversants and the conversations. I’ve located the producer. If we could find the talent scout—the person who begins to cultivate the conversants and gets the recordings going—we’d be golden. If you’re that person, send a pitch to me here. Our next episode will be recorded just before the election. The plan is to include one or two more souls in that episode. Howard has offered to recruit more strongly committed MAGA-sorts. Stay tuned.
