Do you think the final episode will be longer than usual? It's difficult to see how everything will be tied up/explained with just three hour long episodes left. I'm hoping that Episode 10 will be movie length...
OMG. His entire show was just outstanding. I mean, it usually IS but today grabbed me especially. So many knowledgeable guests polsters, election winner, Ann Applebaum, and his final guest, author of Martyr! By Kaveh Akbar.
Gonna get his book soon for sure. He's a poet who applies his talent to prose and in his speech, too.
Mr. Akbar introduced me to a new (to me) word today:
Sonder is the profound realization that every random passerby is living a life as vivid, complex, and chaotic as your own, filled with their own ambitions, routines, and worries.
He also reminded me of an American atrocity I had shamefully forgotten and one many/most Americans have never even heard of:
Iran Air Flight 655 - Wikipedia https://share.google/tYtRuVUg47jP3Xxsu
Iran issued a commemorative postage stamp about the incident to keep it top of mind in their populace.
Anyway, kudos to Ali Velshi for yet another brilliantly produced and presented show.
