Reflecting on Democracy with Heather Cox Richardson
In this episode of That Said, join Michael Zeldin as he sits down with historian and author Heather Cox Richardson to reflect on where we’ve come since the release of her 2023 book, Democracy Awakening.
A professor at Boston College and expert in American political history, Heather is also known for her widely followed Substack newsletter, Letter from an American, where she connects past and present to help make sense of today’s political climate.
Together, they explore how the nation’s democratic institutions have been tested—and what history can teach us about the road ahead.
