Heather Hendershot

Today, we hear from Professor Hendershot about her recent book on William F Buckley’s famous political talk show Firing Line, which ran from 1966 through 1999 and thus chronicled the massive political and cultural changes in America from the 60s onward. The book is called Open to Debate: How William F Buckley Put Liberal America on the Firing Line, and we talk about it. We also discuss the effect of the media on the political process today, and how it might be improved.
