  • Can Election Cake Save Democracy? with AJ Jacobs
    Nov 7 2024

    Need a reason to feel optimistic about democracy? This episode Mango welcomes best-selling author A.J. Jacobs to chat about his new book The Year of Living Constitutionally. From walking around the upper West Side with a musket (a 2nd amendment right!), to delivering quill-written petitions to Congress (he spilled a lot of ink in the process), to meeting the last person to get a new amendment added (all he wanted was a better grade in his college class!), A.J discusses his hilarious experiments and adventures in patriotism, and how it helped him gain new insight into America's founding documents.
