Whenever James roams for the week, a dilemma emerges. How do we make up for his erudition and charm? This time we reached out for a northerner from across the pond. Our guest is Niall Ferguson, one of the few men alive to explain the subtleties of consensus misinterpretations of history–and the consequences. Are western leaders making foolhardy wagers in Ukraine? And if so, what's informing them? Tune in to hear to get the take of "the world's most useful historian."

Further, Peter and Rob give their unscientific answers to the curiously controversial woman question, our presumed new Supreme Court Justice; plus the state of the Oscars and movies themselves.

Music from this week's podcast: I'm Every Woman by Whitney Houston
