Episode description

Poetry made headlines. Yes, it happened - rarely have we seen a poet on the cover of Vogue, shared widely around Instagram and Facebook or popping up on international TV stations. We of course had to dedicate an episode to Amanda Gorman, the youth national poet laureate of the United States and the Inaugural poet. Her poem 'The Hill We Climb' has since made its way around media outlets everywhere, has been translated into several languages and was published by Penguin Random House. In this episode we examine the inner workings of American democracy and culture through the only voice we should be listening to. What comes next?
