Written and recorded for October 13, 2007. Twenty years ago today, George HW Bush (pictured at the right with Margaret Thatcher) declared his candidacy for President of the United States. I look back at that election, and compare it with the present run for the White House.
Just a reminder: I wrote and recorded this show late in 2007. The situation with the election has developed since then, in ways many of us never expected. A good reminder that history in the making is dynamic indeed!
Today's episode music is from 'Confusion,' by Commander Yo. Our theme music is composed and performed by Marc Rose.
After the show there's a promo for the Icebox Radio Theater, a podcast spotlighting new and original audio drama from International Falls, Minnesota. Well worth a listen!
