Loss
This is a relatively serious episode in which we are joined by Gwenn Danet-Desnoyers to discuss our personal experiences of losing individuals close to us. Among other moments, Gwen discusses the death of his mother. Peggy talks about losing her father suddenly, Shelly reminisces about the tragic death of her very first boyfriend, Jim remembers one of his former debaters who died very young, and John discusses those people he knew who died from AIDS.
The Janina Dialogues
Janine from Downers Grove joins the gang to discuss her work at the University of Chicago and, most notably, to delve into certain intimate aspects of her life for which she is well known among her circle of friends - take that Anna Sale!
Cold Opening
In their first episode under the new title, the Gang of Four demonstrate that they are not quite in synch. That becomes obvious in the cold open. After John explains about the new title, they have a wide-ranging discussion about “opinion” v. “facts”, trust in government, comparisons of the current epidemic to the influenza outbreak of 1918 as well as personal updates and recommendations.
Who we used to be
