NYGBC: Paul Weyrich's Rotten Heritage

The Not Your Grandmother's Book Club Podcast

This week, we took a look at one of the festering sores on the heel of the United States the Heritage Foundation, one of the largest and influential far right propaganda centers in the country. Connections to white supremacists, bad college recommendations, and priorities more at home in the 1920s than the 2020s, they’ve got it all.

Thanks as always for listening and enjoy the show!
