Retired University of Wisconsin Professor Donald Downs is a
legendary champion of free speech and academic freedom. But
before he became one of the country’s preeminent defenders of
these values, he wrote a book that challenged prevailing free
speech arguments.


On today’s episode of So to Speak: The Free Speech Podcast, we
are joined by Professor Downs to discuss his journey from
somewhat of a free speech skeptic to one of its most fervent
defenders.
