Hi. On today's episode, Jason Kander (@JasonKander) talks with Katy and Cody about his new book, "Invisible Storm: A Soldier's Memoir of Politics and PTSD." They discuss the value of stepping back from "the news" and taking care of yourself, Republican efforts to suppress voters, and avocado metaphors. Plus, listen all the way to the end for a congratulatory 200th episode message from a very special guest.

The special guest must be warmbo right? Haven’t listened yet.

Have you considered a password-protected xml stream so that people can simply add it to their podcast app?

I'm excited to listen to this one! We're incredibly proud of Jason in Kansas City. He's the antithesis of Josh Hawley, who happens to be the biggest embarrassment out of Kansas City.

Steve Gillow

Loved the surprise at the end.

Haven't listened to it yet. Please tell me it ends with them saying to their guest "Thank you for your candor (Kander)"

I became allergic to avocados, peaches and mangoes three years ago, all of a sudden like. I really miss avocadoes and peaches. First world problem.

Love ❤️ the bit with Terry O'Quinn! As a fan of Lost, Patriot, and The Stepfather, that was very fun!

I loved this. Made me look up help again ❤️

While I appreciate the conversation there, the hosts didn’t ask about how Kander was endorsed by the NRA in 2016 — one of the few Democratic candidates the NRA endorsed that year — and whether his views on firearms have changed since then.

Katy is moving to a smaller, more conservative town, and I know how that feels. I live in a very conservative small town, and it is hard to find people to listen to my talking points. I have a few people who listen regularly at work and such, but I dont even talk with my conservative family that much.

I think the idea that mandatory service is gonna help young ppl connect and feel some purpose in the world is extremely naive and dumb, to the point where I don't want to hear more from this person any more. People nowadays are not feeling alienated because they're lazy, they're feeling that way because now more than ever it's extremely transparent how corrupt our government is and how stacked it is against the average person. I don't think being forced to help act out whatever horrible shit is on the agenda when you're young is gonna help you get away from that alienation. Volunteering your time to a good cause is admirable and would help provide the purpose he's talking about. I don't at all trust our current government to decide what good causes are, you're just gonna end up stealing oil or something. Maybe a better solution to young people feeling alienated and purposeless would be to create a government that deserves engagement
