The Rob Carson Show

-Rob recounts his trip to Washington’s Freedom 250, where he arrives without a ticket, gets recognized by listeners, watches the race from the Museum of Modern Art and somehow ends up cramming five people onto a rickshaw blasting AC/DC — proving you don’t need a grandstand seat when you have ingenuity and ten bucks. -Rob examines the intensifying economic squeeze on Iran, marveling at th...
