64 - Swiss Cheese Model with Andy Slavitt

Now wait a minute. I mean did we return last week or did we return last week? Conan was a HUGE hit in The Carriage House and everyone was so excited, but there seemed to be an air of "Oh, Ronna (& Bryan) have outdone themselves." You should know we're always reaching for the stars here, excuse me. Our influence extends beyond the world of culture and entertainment, and, we hate to tell you, we delivered again. This week we welcome former administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services during the Obama administration and current senior advisor on COVID-19 to the Biden administration Andy Slavitt! Andy, host of the podcast IN THE BUBBLE, answers our pandemic policy questions with detail and expertise, and then helps us give advice on dealing with a coworker who believes in dangerous conspiracy theories, the murky ethics of infidelity, and discovering that your friend is a plagiarist. We've never had a more topical guest! It was a January Watch Party on Patreon last week! We watched Tonya Harding's "30 on 30" along with some of the most gorgeous (and infamous) figure skating routines of all time. And we had a LOT to say about it. Did you miss out?
