23: Rob Kendall of WIBC and Chris Spangle of We Are Libertarians
Leaders and Legends
07/08/19 • 67 min
Rob Kendall and Chris Spangle are political (and romantic) rivals who don’t take themselves too seriously, yet still bring an incredible amount of smarts to what they do. “Leaders and Legends” doesn’t make present-day political discourse a part of its mission—there are plenty of places to find that—but when friends want to have a reasonable chat, we are all about it.
