I was the guest for yesterday’s edition of “Maine Calling,” the hour-long interview and call-in program of Maine Public radio, talking about the American Nations, their implications for US politics, and the ways in which the transcend the country’s rural-vs-urban divide. (The latter the subject of this New York Times Opinion piece two weeks ago.)
The segment — with some excellent questions from fellow Mainers calling in — is now also available for online listening at this link.
Thanks again to Maine Public for having me on.
My next public talk in Maine is at the Colloquy Downeast in Blue Hill September 16 (on Lobster Coast themes).
