I think its safe to say that this was one of the best videos you've ever made MBT. i think you really did a great job at not only using your passion for the game as a way to connect younger people to real world political discussion, but also in framing the game with the two different interviews. I think you and Jillian asked smart questions and made it not only entertaining, but informative. i knew nothing about Congressman Frost before this, but this helped to fill me in on some key bits of information.
