Tilting at Windmills, Ep. 181 ...ish? Brickgate and Disclosure Day
<p>Host Benjamin Gorman thought this would just be an announcement that this week’s show would be delayed until the arrival of his new teleprompter, but it turns out he had a few more things to talk about. Like Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day and Hank Green's video about the price of plastic ... and what both may have to say about Brickgate. Or what Brickgate may say about them. Metaphors within metaphors. </p>
