I love the @thisdaypod. Today we shared our thoughts about Kamala's loss and Trump's win. I was holding back the tears, but it felt good to talk and be in community with my favorite podcasters: @pastpunditry & Jody Avirgan. I hope it helps you too. youtu.be/Z7p9G_LpG2M?si=hyXc…

It's the 80th anniversary of the invasion of Normandy, and while we don't cover much "dad history" here on This Day, big anniversaries like this do provide us with a platform to reflect on our values regarding war, peace, and the world order. @jodyavirgan shares quick thoughts.

Trump guilty of 34/34 charges. We'll be doing a little video later this evening, talking about some historical moments that give us perspective in this very history-making moment. Any historical tidbits on your mind right now?
