Folks!

Welcome to the inaugural episode of the Living History pod. I’m excited to bring you this unique conversation with Don Lemon, former anchor at CNN but current anchor of his new independent media project The Don Lemon Show on YouTube.

And Don is covering all his new media bases, offering his content via youtube, X, Bluesky, Insta, and Subtack.

The premise of the show is that we’re living through extraordinary times, a time period future historians will write books about.

Thus, it behooves us all to keep records of what it was like to live through this, from a variety of different perspectives: journalists, authors, politicians, and others who each bring their own distinct perspectives to assess what we’re seeing under Trump 2.0.

The present now, will later be past. Its important that we capture this moment in time.

We’re living history.
