The $2 Bill Stars in a Podcast
February 27, 2016
News here at Two Buckaroo headquarters: The $2 bill has ascended through the wilderness of cyberspace to the noble realm of podcast subject. Yes, there’s now a podcast devoted exclusively to the $2 bill, and I am honored to be in it. Well, one episode, anyway. The awesomely themed “Dead Presidents” features a dedicated $2 bill episode, which you can listen to here. (You’ll need to sign up through Howl, but there’s a free trial you can use.)
Being interviewed for it was super fun, and I extend a $2 bill of gratitude to the host, Daniel O’Brien, a Cracked.com writer and author of the book How to Fight Presidents, who was an energetic, intellectually eager interviewer. Even if he got a couple facts not exactly right in the first segment of the show, I have to hand it to him for executing a cool series like this.
For those of you who listen, my segment starts at 21:24 — I’m the Easter egg of the episode. Daniel asks me about the reactions I get to spending $2 bills and that sort of thing. It’s pretty fast, and you could easily miss it if you cut out before the end. But on the phone, we yapped for half an hour, and it was sort of like we were old friends. Daniel, if you read this, I’ll take you up on that offer to be pen pals. Thanks for the kind words. And kudos to the design production folks for including two $2 bills in the logo (see above).
If this podcast gets even two people to start spending $2 bills, I will consider the nation a better place.
