Just when we thought 2021 might be the new beginning we were all waiting for, the insurrection happened in the U.S. To see an attempted coup in established democracies is, thankfully, rather rare, which makes it very much podcast-worthy.

I talk about the concept of political trust and how it serves as an interesting framework to use when analysing this situation. In what might seem like various detours, I build my narrative where I also share with you what created an exploding head moment for me many years ago.

Also, I hope you appreciate the ominous look that I got by editing my own photo of the U.S. Capitol to match my show logo.
