Summary: It's independence day in the USA and, though by no mean's a theme show, this week's show touches on many issues pertaining to American history ... ... It all starts with Dean telling a story about North Bend, Washington (i.e. the town of "Twin Peaks"). Then, there is a touching letter from a loyal listener like you (yes, YOU). and the show continues with remembrances of a Nobel Laureate, a groundbreaking coach and two noted film directors in "Celebrity Deaths", before seguing into great acting and directing tips (courtesy of Peter Falk) in "What We're Reading". Then, talk of Dean's new comedy venue leads into a discussion of #Brexit, the appeal (to some) of Donald Trump, the retirement of Garrison Keillor and many themes are explored, from the opportunities that arise in times of chaos to the ways these American states really ARE "united" ... All in all, it's a globe-trotting adventure of good conversation on this week's show, and THEN, your friends in podcasting leave the confines of Terra Firma and explore the possibility (likelihood) of alien civilizations and the importance of Jupiter to our existence!
