In Search of Monsters Season Premier
Naming the Crisis
Featuring historians Jackson Lears, Robin D.G. Kelly, & Helen Thompson
Quincy Institute & Radio Open Source, 10/6/22

We're back this week for season two of "In Search of Monsters"--our podcast in partnership with Radio Open Source with Christopher Lydon. In the season premier-- "Naming the Crisis"-- we turn to three historians to diagnose the roots of the multi-faceted crisis the world finds itself in.

This season we are also premiering a short that will air alongside each podcast and feature a member of Quincy Institute. This week in "Understanding Russia" Grand Strategy Director George Beebe discusses the question of why President Putin is not following the script the West has written for him.
