Subscriber Extra – Ian and Dorian's own political journeys Origin Story

Origin Story often covers people who have taken strange and erratic political journeys, from Winston Churchill to Jordan Peterson. But what about the evolutions that have made Ian and Dorian the well-rounded podcasters you know and love/tolerate today? What are their personal political origin stories? Ian retraces his youthful path from Christianity to Marxism to liberalism, while Dorian talks about making sense of his place on the left over the years. Are identities like socialist, liberal or centrist really firm categories or something more fluid and contested? Does it all ultimately come down to individuals trying to make sense of the world? It’s a story about what we believe, why we believe it and the importance of changing your mind.
