Greg Lukianoff is co-author of The Coddling of the American Mind and CEO of FIRE, recently rebranded as the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (previously, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education). Before becoming FIRE’s President in 2006, he worked with the ACLU, which has famously adopted an ideological and activist approach to issues of speech, censorship, and open debate of late, in contrast with their past work defending free speech for all, even the Nazis.

In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Greg about why younger generations no longer value free speech, what cancel culture accomplishes, and how to remind the world why freedom of speech matters.

In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Terry Glavin, a Canadian journalist, author, and columnist at the Ottawa Citizen and the National Post. After publishing a piece outlining the journalistic failures leading to national headlines falsely claiming the discovery of "mass unmarked graves of Indigenous children" at the sites of former Residential Schools in Canada, Terry was slandered across social media and the Canadian literary landscape as "a residential school denialist” and "racist," despite his long history of work with Indigenous peoples and that he was correct: no "mass graves" were ever discovered, as reported. Meghan speaks with him about his reporting, the real story, and about the problems with journalism in Canada.   

Terry is the author of numerous books, including "The Last Great Sea: A Voyage Through the Human and Natural History of the North Pacific Ocean." His work has covered regional and global politics, natural history, and anthropology. He has published numerous books and articles about Indigenous peoples, cultures, histories, politics, and issues, including, "Nemiah: The Unconquered Country" and "A Death Feast in Dimlahamid." Glavin was awarded the Lieutenant Governor's Award for Literary Excellence in 2009. Find Terry on Substack at The Real Story.
