Current Shows

The Inner Life of Liberalism

This is my newest personal podcast, co-hosted with Jason S. Canon (). It's a show about how a better life and a freer world aren't separate projects, but are instead built from the same practices. Jason and I explore how habits of attention, care, and openness shape both who we are and the kind of society we create.

The Liberalism.org Show

Liberalism.org is an online magazine I run for the Institute for Humane Studies that publishes essays by scholars about the ideas of the liberal tradition and their application to contemporary political and policy questions. I host its companion podcast of short interviews with academics and experts.
