Evan takes us through some of the works of an author quite prominent in right-leaning circles: Ayn Rand.

Evan is starting a new job and as such, will need to take a quick timeout after a delay of game penalty. (For those who may be unfamiliar, these are American football rule references.) I still plan on releasing a regular episode sometime this holiday weekend, with the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday being celebrated on Monday, the 19th.
