Good evening, listeners! We have an excellent show for you today.

First, TAI Executive Editor (and TAI Podcast producer) Damir Marusic makes his debut appearance on the show to discuss Russia’s recent anti-corruption protests, and why this story is more about Kremlin intrigue than a populist uprising.

Then, Martha Bayles, who teaches at Boston College and is a visiting scholar at the Hudson Institute, takes a look at the thorny issue of free speech on campuses today, making the case for a need to rely more on civility than legal action.
