Summary

None of us have ever lived through a year like 2020. What are its lessons? What has it changed forever? And where will it lead in 2021? We bring together an extraordinary group to discuss these issues and the questions they are left with in a year-end special edition of Deep State Radio. Our guests include the author of "Evil Geniuses" Kurt Andersen, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Laurie Garrett, Harvard University specialist in emergency management Juliette Kayyem, former Obama White House Director of Health Policy Dr. Kavita Patel and co-editor of "Just Security" and professor at NYU Law School Ryan Goodman. Save some time on your schedule for this one. It's an important conversation.
