Hello burglars & thieves,
I’m writing to you from Down Under (Sydney, Australia), where Megan Phelps-Roper and I just spoke at the Festival of Dangerous Ideas. Our sincere thanks to everyone who came out and packed the house to hear our presentations on some of the topics we hold most dear: difficult public debates, storytelling, forgiveness, and more. It was great to meet so many of you, and a special thanks to the organizers, who were not only hospitable but impressively skilled at their jobs.
Now, on to today’s show: This is another of our Hindsight episodes (the last one was with rapper Killer Mike), where we take the opportunity to dive deeper into a subject or story we’ve covered, in a looser, more casual way, in conversation with an insider or expert on the subject at hand, and to respond to listener criticism and feedback.
In today’s Hindsight we are looking back on our coverage of stolen election claims (No, You Stole the Election!) with journalist, lawyer, and podcast royalty, Emily Bazelon. We discuss gerrymandering, voter ID laws, growing distrust in institutions, and we debate the power of elites and whether we should be worried about Election Day 2024.
We have a lot of new listeners here, and we’re very excited to have you with us! If you want to hear this episode in full, please become a paid subscriber (one of our Reflectors). In addition to full access to our Hindsight episodes, you’ll get early access to new episodes and other perks. You’ll also be directly contributing to our ability to continue this journalism.
As always, we are eternally grateful for your support and we love hearing from you. Please feel free to email us at hello@reflector.show
-Andy (and Matt)
