The Middle with Jeremy Hobson

On this special episode of The Middle, Jeremy sits down with author and cultural critic Hubert Saint Olive, whose new book Res Publica in America (Volume I: 2016–2026) offers an outsider's unflinching look at a decade of American upheaval.

Saint Olive, who is French, shares his perspective on where American democracy stands today - from the erosion of public trust in institutions to the fracturing of a shared media reality - and what a decade of turmoil reveals about the health of the American experiment.

Twenty-five years after the September 11th attacks, a generation of Americans has grown up with no memory of that day, but its effects are still everywhere.

Jeremy is joined by journalist and historian Garrett Graff, author of The Only Plane in the Sky, and Fox News chief national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin to examine how 9/11 reshaped American foreign policy, air travel, national security, the media and the country’s relationship with Islam.

They also hear from listeners about what 9/11 means to them today, as firsthand memory gives way to history and America confronts a very different political and global landscape.

On this special episode, Jeremy hops on the other side of the microphone to reflect on three years of The Middle - what he's learned along the way, and why the show is as relevant as ever.

He's joined by journalist and author Lisa Napoli, who served as senior producer on the original run of pilots for The Middle back in 2022. Together, they revisit the big names, big moments and big issues that have defined the show's first three years.

On this episode of The Middle, we take your calls on which institutions still earn your trust at a time when faith in American institutions overall has been steadily eroding - from the media and education to state and local government and even the Supreme Court, with recent political turmoil only accelerating that mistrust.

Jeremy is joined by former Senator Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) and political analyst Yuval Levin, director of Social, Cultural, and Constitutional Studies at the American Enterprise Institute.
