Danny and Derek welcome Margaret Peacock and Erik Peterson, associate professors at the University of Alabama, to discuss their book A Deeper Sickness: Journal of America in the Pandemic Year. They discuss the book’s aims, how history informs the COVID moment, where the pandemic intersects with the political, the state of the historian profession, and more.
It was a bit annoying in the first bit when you were confrontational abt why the book might not matter cause liberalism. I get the conceit and might agree, but it was just a bit aggressive and seemed to put everyone on edge till you moved on lol.
Otherwise great episode I loved it!
Also hearing an academic historian say Social Justice Warrior right at the end hit me right in the soul
