Bummer! I couldn't tell which hour of @velshimsnbc.bsky.social the #BannedBookClub was on & didn't guess right when I set up my VCR the night before. I can sometimes catch part of the first hour & tape the second but can't tape 3 hours. I'd love to see him in the T-F evening lineup on @msnbc.com

That would work if I was home. I usually workout in the morning then run my errands. I used to tape one hour, usually the one with the #BannedBookClub & watch it later. I cannot tape 3 hours & missed the book club last week. #Veshi #lastword
