Returning champion Erik Rankin holds the record as most downloaded PodBN guest. He has also done other things. But now he's moved onto the next phase of his life. We learn about why Erik's moved away from politics, geek out on the brutal reality of campaign management, wax philosophical about the meaning of life, and make significant advances towards solving all the world's problems.
