Listening to America: The Plight of a Secular Society

By Bruce Ledewitz

Clay Jenkinson is a national treasure. He thinks deeply and generously about the state of our nation. For those old enough, he is a worthy successor to Charles Kuralt, whose On the Road features were an important part of the golden age of TV news. I was interviewed by Clay on Listening to America in an episode he called, The Plight of a Secular Society. You can listen to the podcast on the Watch and Listen tab on this website or here.
