The Lost Cause
Listening to The Lost Cause on my Tucson, AZ PBS station , I’m stunned by the powerful impact of the facts presented so clearly and consistently. This all too necessary piece illuminates our historical and current challenges.
Enlightening and inspiring
Just listening to David Freudberg’s voice is a good start, no matter the topic. I highly recommend picking out some topics or interviewees you think would be interesting and you’ll be hooked. You know how you think if you listen to someone you like on a podcast and later meet them, you’d immediately click with them? That’s how I feel about David Freudberg and how much I’d enjoy being in his presence and soaking in some of his knowledge and kindness.
