Podcast Episode 129: Tradition and America

Tom Fleming at the Fleming Foundation recently wrote several posts on social media about tradition.

That said, what is the value of tradition and does a uniquely “American tradition” exist? I discuss these points and more in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.
