Episode 488: What's Behind the Decline in Historical Thinking; Secrecy and Greed at The NRA

Welcome to a very special edition of the Ring of Fire Podcast
this week, I am your host Sam Seder. That’s right folks, we are
breaking away from our normal radio format this week to bring you
an uninterrupted show that we hope you’ll enjoy.


Joining us this week, Historian, Author, and Media Critic, Eric
Alterman, will join me to discuss why history majors have
declined in our university system, more than any other degree and
why that is contributing to the decline historical thinking.


And Michael Spies from The Trace, will join us to discuss his
blockbuster piece explaining why turmoil at The National Rifle
Association is coming from within.
