Summary

The CAFE team is taking a break from our usual programming this week to share another show we think you might like. It’s a show called “The Gray Area,” hosted by Sean Illing, that explores issues across culture, technology, politics, and the world of ideas, all through a philosophical lens. In the episode we’re about to share, Sean Illing and his guest, historian Edward Watts, discuss how America today feels a lot like ancient Rome…right before its empire collapsed. We hope you enjoy their conversation. You can listen to more of the show here. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
