A Conversation About Policing

Rebirth of American Wag

My conversations with Marc Danziger, a close friend, old head blogger and social polymath went on for several years before the pandemic. We’ve maintained our close friendship for over a decade now and have decided to ramp up a little bit and continue our urban project American Wag.

American Wag is, I think, a good model for us Peasants to investigate more complex issues from a personal perspective which doesn’t land us in the land of political partisanship or the zone of ethnic friction. If the sitcom Modern Family were made with guys with master’s degrees, it would resemble how Marc and I talk about our lives. That’s a lightweight was of looking at it, and maybe we’re a couple of lightweights, but we do go there.

In this episode we rehash some stories we’ve told each other before but have not shared through American Wag. Show notes, annotations and transcript below for subscribers.
