Early access to the September 25, 2023 edition.

Paid subscribers get early access to my interview with Yascha Mounk about his new book, The Identity Trap.

Not a paid subscriber? You’ll have to wait to hear the full episode, but here’s a teaser to get you excited. As always, paid subscribers also get to hear the bonus extended conversation.
