Sometimes, circumstance is delightful.
Such a delightful circumstance occurred in December when I happened to run into the musician Emmy The Great, dear friend to a mutual friend, Dan Schreiber, who had talked endlessly of just how awesome she was as both a person and a musician.

For weeks now, I've been gushing about a little (not little) Broadway show by the name of Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812, a musical by Dave Malloy that adapts a 70-page section of Tolstoy's War & Peace into an incredible theatrical experience that still gives me goosebumps
It's both brill and ace, in equal measure.

I'm still in Brooklyn.
And, because the election everyone keeps talking about is right on top of us, I decided to ask my good buddy Mark Gagliardi (of We Got This, Drunk History, Thrilling Adventure Hour, and Welcome to Nightvale) to walk a half dozen blocks on over and have an all-political Bit Of A Chat.
So, that's what this is. Are there plenty of opinions on offer? Sure. Is there also ...
