I chat with Thiel College Communication professor, Dr. Dane S. Claussen, author of Anti-Intellectualism in American Media: Magazines and Higher Education (2004), about America's aversion to learning for learning sake and its manifestations in higher ed and politics.

I chat with social justice/diversity educator and consultant, Jessica Pettitt, author of Good Enough Now, about learning to be comfortable in one's own skin, formulaic ways we tend to respond to new and stressful situations and what applying some her books wisdom to my life would look like in a very racially-charged scenario.
