Summary

As the United States approaches its 250th birthday, Steve and Kristin take a step back and ask a big question: where is the country headed? Steve reflects on experiencing the bicentennial in 1976 and how dramatically America has changed in the 50 years since. Kristin explores the generational divide around patriotism and whether younger Americans connect with the country differently than previous generations. They also tackle listener questions about Summerfest, ancestry, marriage, and more in another edition of Ask Us Anything. A thoughtful, optimistic, and occasionally existential episode of Overtime.
