Season 2, Episode 1 (Show 53): 80 Years in 80 Minutes: A Special Live Episode
January 5, 2022
Amidst the unreality of a pandemic book tour, Amarica’s Constitution goes in front of a live audience for something strange and wonderful these days – a real in-person book talk, speeding through the revolutionary period and whetting your appetite with historical and constitutional tidbits galore, to the delight of the crowd, and now, you.
Amarica’s Constitution takes to the road, as the Yale Club of the Palm Beaches, Florida, hosts us with a live audience of constitutional aficionados! The long-delayed book tour of “The Words That Made Us” finally assumes a recognizable form, as Akhil gives a whirlwind tour of the first 80 years of America’s Constitutional Conversation. Aside from a sense of the book, you should come away from this episode knowing 20-30 things you either didn’t know, or wrongly understood before. The audience then questions Professor Amar from founding to Trump – literally, as no holds are barred.
