52 分钟Hey y'all, Shiloh here.
Listeners will know that I believe reading good books makes us better men.
Likewise, having civilized debates and good faith discussions can make for a better democracy.
That's why I want to recommend the chart-topping podcast, You Might Be Right,
hosted by former Tennessee governors from the left and right, Phil Bredesen and Bill Haslam.
It's produced by the Baker School of Public Policy and Public Affairs at the University of Tennessee.
In fact, the show's named after Senator Howard Baker's principle to always remember the other fellow might be right.
At a time where mainstream news reverts to shouting matches and most political commentary generates
more heat than light, You Might Be Right is a great place for even keel conversations about tough topics.
If you need a place to start, check out their recent episode on whether there's too much money in politics.
As we approach the midterms, this is a timely discussion featuring Harvard Law School Professor Larry Lessig
and former chair of the Federal Election Commission, Brad Smith.
It's substantive, civil, and exactly the kind of debate worth having right now.
So follow You Might Be Right on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts and tell them I sent you.
Hey y'all, recently at the George W. Bush Presidential Center, I sat down with the great American
biographer Walter Isaacson to discuss his latest book, The Greatest Sentence Ever Written.
That sentence is, of course, this.
We hold these truths to be self-evident.
That all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights,
that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
