This conversation is something of a follow-up to our last episode on Garry Wills’s Lincoln at Gettysburg: The Words That Remade America. We begin by “providing receipts” for the views of prominent midcentury conservative intellectuals (Willmoore Kendall, Russell Kirk, and Mel Bradford, to name a few) about the Declaration, equality, and Lincoln, then take a step back to discuss what their quarrel with Lincoln, Harry Jaffa, Garry Wills, and other partisans of equality might reveal about the nature of the American founding and the shape of our country’s history. After all that—and more—we consider NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s July 3 speech celebrating America’s 250th anniversary and the promise and perils of leftwing patriotism.

- One True Book Club: Under Fire, Part 2
Join us for the second of three installments of One True Book Club ’26! In this series of episodes, we are reading the Hemingway-relevant selection, Under Fire by Henri Barbusse, the classic French WWI novel published in 1916.This episode covers chapters 10-19 of the novel. We discuss how Barbusse finds moments of unexpected humanity amidst the carnage of warfare and his subtle characterization of the platoon, including the narrator himself. We also cover his metafictional “Swear Words” chapter, where Barbusse reflects on a Realist writer attempts to describe the indescribable.We also connect this brutal novel to Hemingway’s writing, to other modernist works, to Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried… and even to The Shawshank Redemption. We are using the Penguin Classics edition with an Introduction written by future One True Podcast guest, Professor Jay Winter. - California school libraries blindsided by ‘catastrophic’ budget cut – KPBS Public Media
