MinnMax Interview - John Dickerson On Min/Maxing The Presidency And His Favorite Video Games
🕑 Added 2021-04-16 16:15:59 +0000 UTCAlright, here's an odd one. MinnMax's Ben Hanson interviews John Dickerson from 60 Minutes, CBS News, former host of Face the Nation, and the Slate Political Gabfest about his latest book "The Hardest Job in the World" and what it takes to "min/max" the American presidency. Dickerson also talks about his history with video games, from working at Atari to his love for Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings. We also talk about the upcoming release of Age of Empires IV from Relic and Microsoft. Based on his descriptions, we'd love to see your feedback in the comments on what game he should check out next.

This is so cool, Ben! I’m going to watch this one with my MOTHER! She loves John Dickerson. Thanks for bringing boomers, CBS, millennials, and video games together. There is an intersection for everything. ❤️

This is wild. Not the content I at all expect from Hanson but fucking rad as hell. Will listen to this later on.
