| 5/10/25 | ![]() #27 - On the American Civil War: A Conversation With Jeff Shaara | Jeff Shaara is the author of the American Civil War epics Gods and Generals and The Last Full Measure. His father, the late Michael Shaara, is the author of The Killer Angels, a historical fiction novel about the Battle of Gettysburg and winner of The Pulitzer Prize. The Killer Angels and Gods and Generals were made into the major motion pictures Gettysburg (1993) and Gods and Generals (2003).Jeff and I discuss the humanity on both sides of the Civil War and the war, as illuminated by the individual profiles and perspectives of Union and Confederate soldiers in this indispensable Civil War trilogy.Jeff Shaara has not stopped writing, and I encourage everyone interested in American history to check out his other published works, and watch for Jeff's upcoming projects at his website: https://jeffshaara.com/ | — | ||||||
| 1/31/25 | ![]() #26 - A Conversation With Dr. Iain McGilchrist | Dr. Iain McGilchrist is the author of The Master and His Emissary and The Matter With Things. A psychiatrist by training, Dr. McGilchrist is a leading expert on the brain and hemispheric differences. He is, I believe, the most important thinker of our time. In this episode we discuss hubris, the scalability of languages, empathy, and the intrinsic value of asymmetry. Check out his website at https://channelmcgilchrist.com/ Watch Dr. McGilchrist's Lecture on Symmetry and Asymmetry | — | ||||||
| 1/17/25 | ![]() #25 - Iain McGilchrist Has a Warning for Our World | In his book The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World, Dr. Iain McGilchrist paints a picture of our brains and the world in crisis. This episode is meant to be a primer on "McGilchristian thought" in advance of an upcoming conversation with Dr. McGilchrist himself. My hope with this is to establish some of the "basics" about Dr. McGilchrist's theories so that we can waste as little time as possible in diving right into the many implications of his work and what it reveals.

| 1/1/25 | ![]() #24 - Fentanyl | The Fentanyl Project's Brock Bevell and I cruise the streets of Mesa, Arizona to talk with the growing number of fentanyl addicts who have been relegated to the streets. America is now losing 100,000 citizens in their prime to drugs every year,. Why is this happening? Why is it not being talked about more? And what can be done about it? Follow The Fentanyl Project on Instagram at @fentanylprojectaz and donate to support their efforts bringing awareness and lifesaving supplies to victims of this historic drug epidemic. *Warning* This episode contains explicit language and discussions of illicit drug use. Listener discretion is advised. | — | ||||||
| 10/11/24 | ![]() #23 - David O. Stewart on the Summer of 1787 | We sit down with author and historian David O. Stewart about his book The Summer of 1787: The Men Who Invented the Constitution. How did America get the Constitution it has? What timeless or transient issues informed their decision-making? And who were these men who painstakingly deliberated for months while away from their homes to reach a compromise that would hold the Union together and set it on a path to uncommon peace and prosperity?

| 9/28/24 | ![]() #22 - Angel Oakley and the Perils of Running for Congress as an Independent | Angel Oakley is a consummate independent if ever there was one, so why did a political party marshal its resources to intimidate her supporters and ultimately block her from getting on the ballot in Illinois? We talk about her run, the cancer of partisanship in America, and everything We the People are up against to achieve a more perfect Union. | — | ||||||
| 8/22/24 | ![]() #21 - The Post-Assassination Speech That Wasn't | By surviving an assassination attempt, former President Trump had a golden opportunity to have a reset with undecided voters in the 2024 Election. Instead, he delivered another partisan stemwinder to his base. We discuss what would happen if an American politician, equal parts hated and loved, were to be killed in front of our eyes, and our conclusions are as unsettling as the act itself. | — | ||||||
| 6/18/24 | ![]() #20 - Adolf Hitler and the New Totalitarians | With help from William Shirer's The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, we examine the ominous parallels between the early days of Nazi Germany and America's own creeping totalitarianism. | — | ||||||
| 5/15/24 | ![]() #19 - A Conversation With Former Arizona State Senator Nancy Barto | In this conversation I talk to Senator Nancy Barto, a longtime state legislator in Arizona. We discuss what the job of a state legislator is, why so few people are even aware of our democratic institutions, and the state of politics in the Grand Canyon State. | — | ||||||
| 5/3/24 | ![]() #18 - A Conversation With Jeff Taylor on Prison Reform | I sat down with Jeff Taylor to discuss prison reform efforts in Arizona as well as his own harrowing experience in "the system". | — | ||||||
| 4/19/24 | ![]() #17 - A Conversation With Rusty Bowers | While serving as Speaker of the Arizona House of Representatives, Rusty Bowers found himself at the center of a high-stakes political drama for his decision to hold firm against President Trump and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani's pressure to decertify Joe Biden's election victory in Arizona in 2020. We discuss those events and more in this episode. | — | ||||||
| 4/11/24 | ![]() #16 - People of the Book: Why Muslims, Jews, and Christians Should Unite | Islam, Judaism, and Christianity all trace their lineage to the same prophet, Abraham, and share many of the same beliefs and practices. Why, then, has Islam been left out of what should be a tripartite alliance on many of the issues facing the world? I make the case for a renewed effort to unite these three religions by building new institutions that reflect their shared heritage and philosophy in order to make a better world. Books referenced: Destiny Disrupted: The World Through Islamic Eyes by Tamim Ansary Islam: A Short History by Karen Armstrong | — | ||||||
| 4/4/24 | ![]() #15 - A Conversation With Dr. Richard Harris on the State of American Politics and Freedom of Speech | In this conversation with Dr. Richard Harris, Professor Emeritus of Political Science at Rutgers University, we discuss the upcoming presidential election, the political realignment we're now witnessing, and freedom of speech in the midst of the war in Israel and Gaza. Arrow's Paradox: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow%27s_impossibility_theorem#:~:text=Say%20there%20are%20three%20choices,A%20and%20C%20to%20B. | — | ||||||
| 3/30/24 | ![]() #14 - The Devil Democracy Needs | Our political representatives have increasingly lost the courage to make unpopular votes, even when it's the right thing to do. Under pressure from forces seen and unseen, they're in need of a new institution that can help them expose what's wrong and what's right in pending legislation. They need Devil's Advocates. | — | ||||||
| 3/8/24 | ![]() #13 - Death by Monoculture | What does the rapid loss of difference and asymmetry in the world portend for us? Does enforced conformity and uniformity clear a path for dangerous contagions to spread unimpeded? We discuss. | — | ||||||
