In this episode, we dive deep into the complexities of American history and the importance of teaching it. Lindsay shares his views on the upcoming presidential election debate, and he predicts a clash between two extreme narratives.
We explore the concept of finding a middle ground and acknowledging both the best and worst aspects of America. Lindsay also takes us through a chaotic scene on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange in 1929, and we discuss the power of storytelling through Lindsay’s popular podcast, "American History Tellers."
