The Blessings of Liberty is a weekly podcast hosted by Jeffrey Rosen — CEO Emeritus of the National Constitution Center, professor of law at George Washington University Law School, and senior fellow at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression.
Each episode brings together leading liberal and conservative authors, historians, legal scholars, judges, journalists, and public intellectuals for thoughtful conversations about the constitutional and historical questions at the center of American life. Guests discuss new books about American history and the Constitution, debate the best arguments on both sides of current Supreme Court cases, and explore the Founding principles at the heart of the American story — including how deep reading and lifelong learning can help citizens pursue happiness and lead meaningful, purpose-driven lives.
With deep dives into history, the Constitution, the lives of the Founders, landmark Supreme Court decisions, and the great books that shape the American tradition, The Blessings of Liberty examines not only what the Constitution means, but why the American Idea still matters. The podcast also offers a model for how citizens with different views can engage in the civil dialogue the Founders believed was essential to preserving the American experiment.
