Media from Steven Conn's new book The Lies of the LandHeartland Politics with Robin Johnson |
Heartland Politics with Robin Johnson is a political podcast discussing current issues we face as a country featuring interviews with senators, congressman, governors, and other political elite. On December 1, 2023, Steven Conn joined Robin Johnson on the podcast. Steven Conn questions the idea of a single rural America that is "left behind" or in crisis and instead says there are many rural Americas and they have been shaped by the same forces that impacted the rest of the country. His book, The Lies of the Land: Seeing Rural America for What It Is—And Isn't also challenges the notion that rural America values capture the "real America" and why rural areas supported Donald Trump. |
