Clowns Are Buoyant

Clowns are buoyant, which may explain how this podcast stays afloat. This month, Jonah, John, and Rob ponder the lousy-man theory of history, admire a podcast whose hosts actually do research, and demonstrate why seminary hasn’t made Rob any less cranky. Along the way: TV greatness, a longstanding dispute over Miller’s Crossing, and the academic credentials of professional clowns.
