You know, when City Paper’s resident libertarian and I get to talkin’, it’s anyone’s guess how long it will take us both to tire of speaking directly to the other. And yet, Mike Riggs and I brave the conversational waters again today in this, our post-election podcast! With us, as always, is intrepid City Paper intern and off-the-cuff interviewer extraordinaire, Bobby Allyn.

Topics discussed: Post-election sex, Prop 8, making nice, hugging it out, Larry Summers, innate mathematical ability, Democrats vs. Republicans, girls vs. boys.
