Episode: Episode 21: Ross Douthat on American Conservatism, Decadence and the COVID Pandemic
Description: Ross Douthat is one of the most insightful conservative voices in media today. Ross writes a regular column for the New York Times, and I was very pleased to welcome him onto the podcast for a discussion on the state of American politics and on his two latest books - The Decadent Society: How We Became the Victims of Our Own Success and The Deep Places: A Memoir of Illness and Discovery.
These are the two best books written about COVID-19 that are not actually about COVID-19.
I really enjoyed this conversation, and I hope...
