Do you ever watch the news and wonder, “How did we get here?” Or think to yourself, “Things are bad . . . What can I do?”
The Context is here to help. Our show breaks down the ideas, history, and trends that are shaping democracy. And you don’t need to be an expert to follow along. Every other Tuesday, host Alex Lovit talks about timely topics with big-picture thinkers and hands-on practitioners, like activists, writers, historians, and community leaders.
The Context is not yet another podcast. . . The host, Alex Lovit, is absolutely not a talking head. He is a senior program officer and historian at the Charles F. Kettering Foundation. Lovit’s history with history has not ended with his PhD in history from the University of Michigan. He continues to study and focuses on the “virtues and flaws that have marked American democracy from the founding to the present.” Lovit engages people on the full range of topics on democracy, from lawyers to scholars, from advocates to artists, from journalists to professors.
