Summary

Author Jeremy McCarter (co-writer of Hamilton: The Revolution with Lin-Manuel Miranda) has written a new book tracing five American radicals from the 1910s and '20s. "I had thought this was going to be a book about a chapter of progress in history we could learn from," says McCarter. "But 1917 is a lot closer to what I thought I would see in my lifetime." Young Radicals is available now.   In the Spiel, a lot of people really, really did not like Otto Warmbier.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

to become pieces. It came in many pieces about how the Obama administration reacted to

this. And here was a quote that stood out to me. They were quoting a senior Obama administration

official involved in White House deliberations on Russia. You know, why didn't Obama, why
