Freedom is Messy and Hard - John Papola

Dad Saves America podcast host, John Papola, joins Bridget for a wide-ranging conversation about everything from the Crusades to life advice for teenage boys. They discuss John’s career trajectory, how he went from MTV, to Spike TV, to documentary filmmaker and ultimately to starting his podcast after COVID hit, why he wanted to take on harder subjects as topics, why 1998 was the peak of Western Civilization, the truth about the production industry, the coolest project he’s ever gotten to work on, why having children was radicalizing for both of them, and how the centers in our society have a kind of cultural group think that has become completely toxic. They also cover why victimhood is so seductive, the best advice his dad gave him, what you should look for in your partner, why the Crusades were awesome and saved the West, what we should be teaching our kids, and why America is worth saving.
