“What DOes it Mean to be a Conservative or to be a Liberal?”
Episode 16: July 27, 2022: We all use the terms ‘conservative’ and ‘liberal’ regularly. We refer to politicians being on the right and the left.

In this episode, Alicia Hegland-Thorpe interviews Jack about the history of these terms, why the term ‘offensive’ is misused, and suggestions as to how people might argue across political lines.
