#85 - Best of Enemies
Michael and Us - A podcast by Luke Savage and Will Sloan, Jacobin
Categories:
In 1968, right-wing William F. Buckley and left-wing Gore Vidal feuded for 10 nights on TV. The 2015 documentary BEST OF ENEMIES suggests these broadcasts led to a coarsening of the culture. The Michael & Us boys interrogate the thesis. PLUS: analyzing the right-wing perspective of the left-wing intellectual tradition; Luke's feud with Peter Hitchens; and tales from the Columbia Journalism School.
