Leighton Smith Podcast #239 - May 15th 2024 - Jonathan Rauch

A sceptical knowledge-seeking society will always welcome controversy, criticism and inquiry, even about ostensibly long-settled ideas. And free expression plays an indispensable role in society, sorting truth from falsehood. Jonathan Rauch is a journalist, and author of a number of books. While a very pleasant interviewee, it will be interesting to see how many of you he will agitate. We make comment on Pope Francis; again, he is wrong. Two Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court issue warnings about the state of America. And once again, we visit The Mailroom.

So, without restriction, Leighton continues to serve up on everything you want to hear about and some things you don’t. Stand by to be enlightened, educated and enraged!
