  1. The Road to Year Zero: A micro-documentary series revisiting the great and petty episodes on the path to ideological succession from the recent and distant American past

  2. Syllabus, for paid subscribers only, in which I will do a deep dive into an academic subject with a subject matter expert

A full transcript is available for paid subscribers.
