In this episode, James and guest Host Dr. Shanna Padgham visit with Dr. Anthony Fowler from the Harris School of Public Policy at the University of Chicago. From explaining what political scientists research, to exploring some of the research that has been featured on his podcast "Not Another Political Podcast," to thinking about the future of American Democracy, Anthony shares his insights with James & Shanna.

Along the way we learn about Antony's affinity for curling and golf, why he thinks America isn't as polarized as some believe, and why we should be careful not to politicize science.

Along the way, they discuss the tension between being a good researcher and being a public intellectual, the pros & cons of the positivist approach to research, and the failure of political science research to impact public discussions of various issues.
