Flyover: The myth of a 'bootstraps' America

Flyover from MPR News focuses on issues of American identity and the changing American dream as they are lived and experienced in the cities, towns and rural areas that lie beyond the media spotlight. This podcast is an unedited hour of live radio with award-winning host Kerri Miller.  Season Three, starting January 2020, focuses on the counties that flipped party loyalties from one presidential election to the next.
