Is Anything Left That Brings Americans Together?

Is Anything Left That Brings Americans Together?

What do Americans still have in common? Michael sits down with Wall Street Journal entertainment reporter Ben Fritz to explore the rise and fall of the American monoculture. From 'I Love Lucy' and 'Seinfeld' to streaming algorithms and TikTok feeds, they unpack how infinite choice fractured shared experience, weakened social glue, and may even be deepening political and cultural divides. Is sports the last thing left that unites us—or is the monoculture gone for good? Original air date 20 January 2026. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
