6. I love it when Sam prank calls rightwingers

and he also does a really great job deflating them when they call in.

[Jane Austin]

7. He does, indeed. Plus there is a lot of substance in his

narratives and in his guest interviews.

He does a good job and I always podcast it when it's Sam.

[FreedomAngel82]

10. Yep!

He does so well! I love listening to him, Randi and Mike getting the rightwingers. It's a guilty pleasure.

[vireo]

8. Sam's back ...

and Janeane's got him! (classic film reference)

[Oslo]

11. Please update me

I haven't listened to Majority Report in a long time, so I didn't know Sam was missing.
Although I agree that he has grown as a host, did Janeane Garofalo ever return? She was West-Wingin' it forever it seemed.

12. For Those Listening To The Show

As our fifth strand, we have to wonder why the kings and nobles failed to recognize and solve these seemingly obvious problems undermining their society. Their attention was evidently focused on their short-term concerns of enriching themselves, waging wars, erecting monuments, competing with each other, and extracting enough food from the human peasants to support all those activities. Like most leaders throughout human history, the Maya kings and nobles did not heed long-term problems, insofar as they perceived them.

. . .

Like Easter Island chiefs erecting ever larger statues, eventually crowned by pukao, and like Anasazi elites treating themselves to necklaces of 2000 turquoise beads, Maya kings sought to outdo each other with more and more impressive temples, covered with thicker and thicker plaster, reminiscent in turn of the extravagant conspicuous consumption by modern American CEO's. The passivity of Easter chiefs and Maya kings in the face of the real big threats to their societies completes our list of disquieting parallels
