A weekly podcast that serves up thoughtful and fun debate about the big stories of the week. The show is usually taped on Tuesdays for posting that evening, with occasional spontaneous bonus episodes. The use of the “Harvard” name originates from the show being an offshoot of the Harvard Conservatives Lunch Club, an extended group of friends and colleagues who get together for occasional lunches, which Mike began in the Spring of 2011 in Cambridge. Mike was a Harvard physicist at the time (he’s since departed for MIT). Todd was a member of the lunch club only because he is such a scintillating conversationalist – he has never had any affiliation with Harvard.
