Good evening and welcome to the podcast where you Sleep... with Josh. Tonight, in honor of the start of Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. 4 year term as President of the United States, I want to revisit Plato's Socratic dialogue, "The Republic".

It's nice to think that there will now be a more just, less egotistical, and more fundamentally c...
