Podcast episodes for the [first](https://johnwlittle.com/hillary-clinton-and-donald-trump-the-first-debate/) and [second](https://johnwlittle.com/russia-trump-and-hillary-what-a-debate/) presidential debates are up. My thoughts are mostly confined to the national security elements and fairly reserved. That’s more of a reflection on my weariness with the non-stop insanity of the election than my true outrage. If I gave in to that rant you’d have to sit through a multi-hour unintelligible tirade and I think we’ve all had enough of that.

I’ve been quietly working on a number of changes to the podcast format to introduce some new segments. This will bring some variety to the show and allow for a more modular production setup. You can hear some of these elements in episode 62\. I’m trying to get to a point where I can release at least one episode per week on a regular schedule while releasing a second (or more) as time allows.
