The 2025 Fall ALOUD season opens with a not-to-be missed conversation about the current state of America presented in partnership with the ACLU. Join acclaimed journalist, co-host of Pod Save the World, and two-time New York Times bestseller Ben Rhodes and Executive Director of the ACLU of Southern California Chandra S. Bhatnagar as they discuss Rhodes’ essential new book After the Fall: Being American in the World We’ve Made.
A seasoned political journalist and former Deputy National Security Advisor and speechwriter for President Barack Obama, Rhodes examines various issues and events that have paved the way for the unchecked nationalism and authoritarianism endangering our democracy today. Rhodes and Bhatnagar will discuss where America has gone wrong and how essential it is now to fight for what America can and should be.
“Vital reading for Americans and people anywhere who seek to understand what is happening ‘after the fall’ of the global system created by the United States”
— New York Journal of Books
