Essential for Democracy

If you care about democracy in your country - whichever country that is - than you should listen to this podcast. Every democracy needs a judicial system that is legitimate in the eyes of the people of that democratic country. This podcast explains why and outlines how that relates to America in 2024 where the Supreme Court has lost legitimacy for many Americans. Anne Applebaum of The Atlantic is a superstar in how democracies rise and fall. She and Peter Pomerantsev of the Agora Institute of Johns Hopkins University take you through why the American judicial system is failing because of the onslaught from the American right led by Donald Trump and why you should care. Definitely recommended.
Timely and essential

Right now I’m reading Anne’s page-turner, ‘Autocracy Inc’. I’m eager listen to this new podcast as a companion to her terrific book. I just know this pod will be a tour de force!
