#472: Reagan, the Man


Like FDR or JFK, Ronald Reagan has become more of a symbol for many Americans than a flesh and blood person.

His name is Bob Spitz and his biography is Reagan: An American Journey...

#468: Does Meditation Deserve the Hype?


Earlier this year, I did a show about the benefits of meditation. That’s episode #439 for those who want to check it out.
