Show Notes
Storied news anchor and journalist Dan Rather has reported on some of the world’s most important events – from Georgia’s church pews at the height of the civil rights movement, to deadly student protests in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square, to the collapse of the Twin Towers on 9/11. Dan’s been at the epicenter of American media since the ‘60s, and now, he’s found himself a dedicated following on social media as well. He joined us earlier this year to talk free speech, disinformation, and what a 70-year career in journalism has taught him.
