Podcast 2025
Podcast 2025 is a slow reading of The Heritage Foundation’s ”Mandate for Leadership,” colloquially known as ”Project 2025.” In this podcast, host Jack Adrian interviews guests from across the United States, and the world, to ask about different aspects of the project, to go over the background and ideological underpinnings of the people and organizations that contributed to the tome, and hopefully, illuminate a few things that we can do about it.
