Micah's Conversation With Lilliana Mason LONG VERSION
Podcast: On the MediaPublished On: Wed Oct 14 2026
Description: A longer version of Micah's conversation with political scientist Lilliana Mason that aired on last week's show. They spoke about the most polarizing issue among Americans: who gets to decide who belongs in this country. Mason makes the case that while polarization is worrying, it is a symptom of a greater threat to democracy that demands our attention – the rise of ethno-nationalist politics.
