Coming Soon - Deep Dive with Shawn C. Fettig

Send us a text

I’m Shawn Fettig. I’m a political scientist – with a particular interest in how things like trust influence how we interact with each other and with our governments and our politicians. What increases trust and what erodes it? I’m hosting a new podcast called Deep Dive, which is all about – as the name suggests - diving deep into particularly interesting issues in our political world, because that’s what I know, but also in our personal lives, our social lives, and our cultural environment. 

In this first season, I'm diving deep into political topics, obviously, and chatting with experts and activists about things like secession, the rise of violent rhetoric and extremist behavior, how the Supreme Court became such a driving force in crafting policy, and how and why country music went from being the sound of working-class folks to being a home for conservatives - but I’m also going to chatting with folks about things outside of my wheelhouse – like, how travel can influence our world view and how connection with different cultures can build trust and empathy. I’m going to have a discussion about the tv series All in the Family, how it landed 50 years ago and how it would - or if it even could – resonate with American society today. And, I’m going to chat with Duncan Tucker, the writer and director of the Oscar-nominated film Transamerica, about how such an unlikely film by a Hollywood newbie could become such a critical darling.

Coming soon!
