The Subversive Reading Lounge

In this episode, we examine an entire year that defined subversive activity for it's time - 1968. The reading comes from David Farber's 1994 book, The Age of Great Dreams - America in the 1960s. We also have incorporated contemporary audio that helps to set the stage to the pinnacle moment of that year - the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.This is Part One of a two part episode, and will contain explicit language.
