Mayonnaise is the Best Belief System We Have: Life in Fantasyland with Kurt Andersen

This week I’m joined by New York Times best-selling author, host of Studio 360 and my former boss at SPY magazine, Kurt Andersen. We discuss the murky origins of patriotism and why we should keep blaming the Puritans for everything in this fine country Andersen calls “Fantasyland.” Tune in and learn how we got stuck with true believers like Marjorie Taylor Greene: It’s all about the feelings, baby. Kurt makes a perfect negroni and I start eating gin-soaked raisins.
