Robert W. Fieseler, Author of American Scare

In honor of today's guest and subject matter, host Caitlin Malcuit talks about what author and journalist Robert W. Fieseler might call  "the Floridafication" of the United States and how minority rights are still under attack in the Sunshine State.

Then, Fieseler returns to the show and chats with Daniel Ford about his latest book American Scare: Florida's Hidden Cold War on Black and Queer Lives.

 
 
This is a hard history to learn about but I wrote about it to make myself hopeful. Perhaps the greatest liberty in any country is the freedom to know one’s country. You have a right to know your country.
— Robert W. Fieseler
