Episode Details

Terms like fake news, partisanship & political violence are commonplace in today's politics, but Professor Greg Jackson argues that these themes have been prominent since America's founding. His new book "Been There, Done That: How Our History Shows What We Can Overcome." This book describes how repetition can be comforting because it gives people the tools to conquer those themes. Jackson also hosts the podcast "History That Doesn't Suck," so if you're a history buff, this would be right up your alley!
