The United States of Anxiety: Culture Wars introduces you to people who have been battling to shape America’s political culture for decades. The WNYC team profile culture warriors, past and present, who have influenced debates over race, religion, science, sexuality, gender and more. They connect those debates to real people, with real stakes in the outcome. They’re filling in the blanks – aiming to answer questions you didn’t even know you had – and they’re asking, What are you willing to fight for? 

The United States of Anxiety is hosted by Kai Wright and produced by WNYC Studios.
