5. The Consolation Debate - a podcast by Andrew, Ed, and Zak

This week on the Bill Bradley Collective, the hosts weigh in on the Vice Presidential debate between Mike Pence and Kamala Harris. In assessing the performance of incumbent, candidate and moderator, the panel uses the 1965 NCAA Tournament consolation game and collegiate adieu of our very namesake as the guide for evaluation. While the debate mirrored Princeton’s 36-point evisceration of Wichita State to the respective advantage of Sen. Harris, how her showing stands up to that of Bill Bradley’s 58-point masterclass is just one example of what to expect from the conversation. But first the rants do cometh, where two-thirds of our body give HBO a bit of free pub, as Zak critiques the cultural efficacy of Aaron Sorkin’s narrative political prose leading into this week’s not-so-eagerly anticipated “The West Wing” reunion/reprisal special, Andrew examines the troublingly generous tenor of a new documentary centering the life and crimes of a a disgraced New York radio show host, and finally Ed presents the vile personal and political history of a Trump senior adviser who somehow remains a fixture on cable news/interview programming.
