Anne Applebaum

China, Russia, Communism, Dictatorship, and the United States: One of these things is not like the others, but for how long? Anne Applebaum, the Pulitzer-prize winning historian and staff writer at The Atlantic, joins Kasich & Klepper to discuss the ongoing threats on democracy across the globe, why authoritarianism continues to grow in popularity; the terrifying message that is spread by those in power like Hungary's Viktor Orbán, and what will be left of Russia and Ukraine after Putin. Anne’s newest book, TWILIGHT OF DEMOCRACY: The Seductive Lure of Authoritarianism, is available now wherever you get books and visit anneapplebaum.com for more. Learn more about your ad choices.

Om Podcasten

They come from two different sides of the political spectrum: John Kasich, former Governor of Ohio and 2016 Republican presidential candidate; and Jordan Klepper, a liberal comedian best known for his viral videos interviewing MAGA supporters for The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. In this weekly talk show podcast, the pair will come together to scream their differing political opinions at each other for an hour… just kidding. Sure, there will be some political debate, but Kasich & Klepper’s discussions will more often explore the common ground of their shared interests. They’ll dive into conversations about parenting, leadership, pop culture, mental health, and more — all with a good sense of humor and a whole lot of jokes at each other’s expense. Along the way, Kasich & Klepper will be joined by high-profile guests from all walks of life — musicians, athletes, activists, politicians, and much more — each of whom will share their unique perspectives on modern life’s biggest questions. Together, Kasich & Klepper will have thoughtful, engaging, and downright hilarious conversations to demonstrate the power of mutual understanding in a polarized world.
