Episode description

In the late 1960s, Richard Nixon popularized the term "silent majority." Drawing from the pro-Hamas rallies, the mass shooting in Maine and the House Speaker debacle, Bradley updates Nixon with a phenomenon he calls "tyranny of the minority." Plus, Bradley discusses his theory of "minimal viable suffering," assesses the impact of Dean Phillips challenging Biden in the Democratic primaries, reflects on the death of actor Matthew Perry and casts dissenting votes on recent output from Martin Scorsese and Marc Andreesen.

This episode was taped at P&T Knitwear at 180 Orchard Street — New York City’s only free podcast recording studio.
