America's Town Meeting of the Air

Who Are the Troublemakers in Our Democracy?

English · Radio, Political Science

America's Town Meeting of the Air brings public questions into a lively radio forum, inviting listeners to hear opposing views debated by speakers before an audience. The program centers on issues of civic life and democracy, with discussion shaped by argument, response, and the exchange of ideas.

This recording is identified with the question “Who Are the Troublemakers in Our Democracy?” Its subject points toward a debate about dissent, public responsibility, and the people or actions seen as disruptive within democratic society. The town-meeting format gives the topic room for competing perspectives rather than presenting it as a single, settled answer.

The result is a thoughtful, conversational kind of public-affairs radio: direct, engaged, and grounded in the belief that important questions deserve open discussion. Listeners can follow the arguments as they unfold and consider how different speakers define the boundaries of democratic debate.
