The story of the Sixties continues in Episode 4 of Season 3 as the dads take on the 1960 election between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy after reading The First Modern Campaign: Kennedy, Nixon, and the Election of 1960 by Gary A. Donaldson.

The 1960 election was one of the closest elections in history, and changed the way campaigns are run, candidates are chosen, and how we think about presidential candidates.

Also in this episode:

• The dads discuss why everything is all the boomer’s fault.

• Dave accuses Aaron of fake news

• The dads explain why they started reading Theodore White’s The Making of the President: 1960, and quickly switched to a different book.

• Dave and Aaron ponder whether their wives are too classy to listen to the podcast.

The story of the Sixties continues in Episode 3 of Season 3 as Dave and Aaron are joined by friend of the podcast Josh Strychalski to talk about All In the Family and TV in the 1960s.

We tackle some pretty tough questions in this episode, such as:

· Was Archie Bunker a precursor to Michael Scott?

· Why has Dave never seen Gunsmoke?

· Was there really a time when The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour was edgy?

· Was Green Acres really the place to be?

· Could a show like All In the Family be made today?

· Is Get Smart rewatchable?

These and other hard-hitting questions are what our listeners have come to expect, and this episode definitely delivers.
