Josh Bowman talks with historian Richard Brookhiser, a senior editor of National Review ( https://www.nationalreview.com/ ) and a senior fellow at the National Review Institute ( https://nrinstitute.org/ ). He is a prolific author of many books, mostly on the American Founders and their ideas, and many other articles and essays besides.
We specifically discuss Brookhiser’s new biography of American painter, John Trumbull (1756 - 1843), entitled Glorious Lessons (Yale Univ., 2024) https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300283310/glorious-lessons/
