Hah, great to hear the Soviet parallels from someone else. I'm a deprogrammed immigrant from a previous episode. Working in higher education I've also explained the similarities between consultants and soviet councils. It's funny how this can be an effective verbal weapon. By utilizing senior leadership's liberal leanings you can attack the waste and corruption of Huron and Deloitte. "5 Year plan to re-imagine classroom technology? Sounds kinda Soviet to me..."

I'm a little behind in my listening addiction, so just caught up to this episode. Hilarious. Thanks for introducing me to Vadim. btw does this resonate with you? ---

The radio program from the 1950s featuring a husband and wife team discussing current affairs is "Mr. and Mrs. North." This show, which aired from 1942 to 1954, revolved around the lives of a married couple, Pam and Jerry North, who often found themselves involved in solving crimes and discussing various topics, including current events. The program was notable for its blend of mystery and domestic life, making it a popular choice during its run.
