From a reader:

Jonah, I’m sure you don’t tire of the accolades for this series, so just add my kudos to immense pile. I think that you both are getting better as you along. I usually listen in a background window as I work, so I generally cannot see your faces. Today though, I had to back up the tape when Peter off-handedly mentioned “communists supposedly running around( in America)”. I noticed that you raised your eyebrows, but did not respond. Probably because it would have taken you further into the weeds. The casualness of you conversations make me wish to see you guys do this in person. You should propose to the suits that you and Peter could tour across the country. Every effort should be made to keep the casual nature. Such as having the discussion in a tavern. If not that, then my billiard room is open with cold Killian’s in the ‘fridge. Although I’m not sure how comfortable Peter would by in the hinterlands with a bunch of Hoosiers. Keep up the great work

Me: Well it just so happens you can book a Goldberg-Beinart debate on the topic of your choosing through my speaker’s bureau, Keppler Speakers. I can’t say it’s cheap, though I’m sure it’s a small fraction of what Carville and Matalin get paid to have marital spats on stage. We’ve debated at maybe a dozen campuses. And speaking for myself and my creditors, I know that I’d like to do more of it. Whether you can bring beer is up to the organizers of course. But I usually meet folks for drinks afterwards.
