In this bonus, pre-election episode, Chloe and Emma speak to Matt Bevan, ABC Radio journalist and host of the America, If You’re Listening Podcast, about the past four years of the Trump Presidency, the relationship between journalism and history, and whether it’s possible—or desirable—to predict an outcome in the 2020 Presidential Election. Chloe and Emma then pick up their conversation about contingency in history and why caring about the election is part of, not a distraction from, analysing what’s happening in America.LinksABC Radio: America, If You’re Listening https://www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/russia-if-youre-listening/Chloe and Emma on the long crisis of American Democracy in the Sydney Morning Herald https://www.smh.com.au/world/north-america/it-s-up-to-people-power-to-overcome-a-system-that-trump-has-trashed-20201029-p569m6.htmlThe Vanity Fair article that made Chloe cry https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/10/becoming-aoc-cover-story-2020 Hosted on Acast.
