Summary

Harvard professor Cass Sunstein returns to discuss his new book #Republic, which looks at polarization in the digital age.

"In the fullness of time, the non–echo chamber model is going to be producing a lot of revenue." No Spiel today, due to technical difficulties. Mike explains in the top of the show.
