In this special episode, we chat with the one and only Rick Perlstein. Rick is an internationally acclaimed and bestselling author and historian who has published perhaps the most singularly definitive series of books on late twentieth-century American politics, culture, and the rise of the modern conservative movement. In past interviews, Rick has discussed the origins of his books and the influences that shaped his writing career. We wanted to sit down with Rick and retell that story in a way that people haven't heard before ... We wanted to retell that story through the lens of class.
