Podcast: Trump—Cause Or Symptom? (Open Source Radio)

Open Source is not just one of the oldest podcasts around, it is one of the best American non-fiction podcasts released weekly. From arts to politics, history to technology, the podcast reflects the core of the intellectual currents in America. The latest episode is an interview by the veteran host, Christopher Lydon, who speaks to Chris Hedges, an American leftist author and journalist who lost his job as a New York Times correspondent after he spoke out against the Iraq war, which pretty much everyone else the newspaper supported at the time. 

Hedges, who has recently published a book called America: The Farewell Tour, talks passionately about why we’re in the mess we’re in now. To him, Trump is a symptom, not a cause, and he blames the neoliberal tyranny of free market for the mess we’re in today. Open Source, which is also broadcasted live on a local Boston radio station WBUR, is your ultimate source to know about the matters the ever-strong American pop culture conceals.
