Although we are off today, we have a special podcast for you all! A couple of weeks ago, Isaac interviewed Sharon McMahon. She is a #1 New York Times bestselling author, educator, and host of the chart-topping podcast Here’s Where It Gets Interesting. Her newsletter, The Preamble, is one of the largest publications on Substack, providing historical context and non-partisan insights to help readers navigate today’s political landscape. My debut book, The Small and the Mighty has been celebrated as one of the year’s top reads.
Sharon and Isaac discuss her journey from being a government teacher to becoming a bestselling author and civic engagement advocate. She reflects on the impact of COVID-19 on society, the rise of distrust in institutions, and the importance of individualism in politics. They also talk about issues surrounding unregulated capitalism, electoral reform, and the implications of the 2024 election results. They also discuss the significant topics they think will shape political discourse in 2025, particularly immigration.
