This week, Walter and Jeremy battle colds to discuss America’s new lithium wealth, the Palestinians’ bargaining position in Saudi-Israeli peace talks, the drugs, violence, and migration problems in America’s backyard, and why you should read Sir Walter Scott.

Also check out our friends at the Moment of Zen podcast.
