On this week’s episode, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) examine a shocking story in Vanity Fair by Vincenzo Barney about the legendary writer Cormac McCarthy’s “secret muse,” Augusta Britt, whom the 42-year-old writer met when the girl was just 16. Then they review Gladiator II, a disappointing retread of the original. Make sure to swing by Bulwark+ on Friday to hear what we’re thankful for. And if you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend!

These are a great reprieve from the more overtly political podcasts, thanks.
Sonny maybe you could slow down a little? I'm going to have to start listening at 0.8x speed.
I cannot slow down even a little.
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it ironically amusing that the ePub of recovering Neocon Republicans is reviewing Gladiator II?
Best discussion of the VF article I've come across. Thank you.
