This is Hell now has MP# connections, so it can host a lot more listeners. Ever since they have added this feature, I have had no trouble connecting/

Thank you for starting this discussion. I have been checking Democratic Underground on and off for months to see if there is any mention of 'This is Hell' and have not found anything for nearly a year. I had all but given up and only found by chance. I usually do a search for "Hell" and would not have found this string. Next tim including a reference to 'This is Hell' would make it easier to find a discussion about the show.

Palast is next.

Palast was fired up, but then, he always is on TiH.

Was hoping for a little more discussion. I will be looking to see if there is any discussion next week.
