Today is the first “None of the Above”–yes, I finally get to use my favorite title!–a new weekly show with former prosecutor, and author, James Stevens Valliant. (His most recent book is Creating Christ: How Roman Emperors Invented Christianity, co-authored with Warren Fahy.) I had thought we’d just do a warm-up show today, light on news and politics, but some of what’s going on simply can’t be ignored, so see Program Notes, below, for stories, etc., we plan to tackle today.

Just finished watching “None of the Above” episode 1. This is a hit! Personalities compliment each other. Two highly intelligent lawyers discussing current events with ideas and insights from both Amy and James. One picks up where the other leaves off. Time went by too quickly, I could have listened to this show all day. I think this is the best program format Amy Peikoff has ever done. Congratulations to both Amy and James Stevens Valliant for sharing a great partnership with an Objectivist perspective.
Thanks so much, Corinne, I’m glad you enjoyed it! It’s a lot of fun and yes, time does fly 🙂
