Last week on Current.com - 10/20-10/26

Once again, Monday got away from us. I assure you it's for a good cause.

// VC2 Leaderboard Winner //

Anyone who's been following the election has probably heard the name, Bill Ayers. Whether being labelled a domestic terrorist, or being championed as Citizen of the Year, the one voice that has failed to be heard is Ayers' own. Luckily for us, VC2 producer Mulcahey scored an exclusive interview with Bill Ayers and put together this VC2 leaderboard winning pod. Take a look and leave Mulcahey some kudos!
