Purple project
Love the show & the project. 2 points. Bob mentions civic education in both episodes 2&3, but the point is not pursued. Civic education is not the same thing as political awareness or involvement. I’d like to hear more discussion on how better education in civics and history can be disseminated, in schools and otherwise in American society, and any studies of its effects on our politics. I’d also note that the discussion in episode 3 comparing the first gilded age, and the reform that followed, egregiously omitted mention of both the Great Depression and two world wars (not to mention Prohibition). Thanks. Keep up the astonishingly good work, Bob and Brooke! mefeller23

It's not perfect -- sometimes it's a bit cheesy, and sometimes it's a bit self indulgent (apparently members of the news media love to think it's the center of the universe) -- but often, it's very good.Read full review »

Brooke and Bob take their work, but not themselves, too seriously. They dig deep, call it as they see it, and have a good time doing it. An excellent addition to your education at the cost of only 50 minutes a week.

A once great show that is now, during good episodes, dominated by Gladstone. Sadly, Garfield still gets airtime and manages to prove how quickly the world has overtaken his affected curmudgeonly, contrarian self is.
