2018-11-03: An Appointment in the Future - a podcast by Samuel Minter / Iván Bou

On this week's Curmudgeon's Corner, Ivan and Sam's two big topics are the synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh including all the surrounding issues relating to the climate that leads to such things, and their final pre-election thoughts on the 2018 midterms. But as usual, there are smaller topics to round things out, including thoughts on a movie, a book, a new iPhone, the economy, and even Gary Hart. Also, after you listen... go vote!
