If Trump's wish comes true, you won't be buying much foreign steel in the future. That's alright, because we produce plenty of stuff here.

The Oscars are coming up. Now that we've gotten that out of the way, Lesley has a book - Sometimes You Have to Cross When It Says Don't Walk - about proper street-crossing etiquette.

Is it possible to be a white supremacist and Jewish at the same time? U of M students say yes. 80 of them, anyway.

Here at the Tom Barnard Show we're onto you, crisis actors. Not the conspiracy theory kind; we're talking about people who act in such a way as to make everything into a crisis. It's a new definition. Liberalism is also a new definition, as its current meaning is very different from what it used to be. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

David has had particularly bad luck in recent years. After decades of mountaineering, health problems have made it difficult to climb. Difficult, but not impossible.

Brandon Webb, having gone through SEAL training, is one of few people able to handle it, but with his advice we may be able to cope. And speaking of coping, if you're a father who consumes a lot of what comes out of Hollywood, you may feel unappreciated. Don't worry, just hang on for another 15 years or so. See omnystud...

Tom's still into Tales From the Tour Bus, probably because the life of the average musician makes the life of an average non-musician look really good. It's true that art requires suffering.

Dave's no Mike Judge, but that's just because Mike is scared of ghosts. And speaking of ghosts, Winchester's the new non-hit hit in town. Are they actual ghosts or hallucinated ones?
