Since the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, University of Chicago Prof. Robert Pape has been closely observing the threats to our democracy. Now, the renowned terrorism expert and director of the Chicago Project on Security and Threats (CPOST) says that violent ideas coming from a dedicated minority are moving from fringe to mainstream.
In 2021, Pape's team, along with NORC at the University of Chicago, launched the Dangers to Democracy tracker, an ongoing series of surveys to track Americans' thoughts and attitudes about political violence. In one recent survey, about 12 million Americans said they believe violence is justified to restore Trump to power. Still, Pape believes the data may give us some answers about how to move forward, and how to strengthen the center.

I wish these podcasts were full length interviews. They sound like they were full interviews until getting chopped up into fragments (and low level canned background music added...why?!). Please do an experiment: Run a full, barely edited version (do not be concerned with how long it is). Release the edited down Big Brains version simultaneously. Observe which version receives more engagement. I often do not get through the episode because I will search your guests name and find an adult version long form interview to jump to. I like the host and the subjects are often interesting but I'm afraid the format you are using may be hurting the goal to inform.
