The Head and the Heart Podcast is a series of conversations exploring current affairs, ideas, and themes that shape civic and cultural life. We aim to elevate public dialogue by giving important topics a forum where the time and space exists to investigate them fully. And then asking ourselves why we believe what we believe about a subject. Are our opinions thoughtfully held, or have we been successfully marketed to? In essence, are we motivated by the head or by our hearts? The Head and the Heart is hosted by life-long friends whose on-going conversations are the inspiration for this podcast. Perry Rogers is a sports agent and brand management expert; and Ed Borgato is an investor, fund manager, and business consultant. Together, they will interview thought-leaders, politicians, journalists, authors, and other cultural figures from across the spectrum of American life. Their hope is that listeners will learn and think along side them; satisfying their curiosity, and perhaps challenging their own assumptions.
Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with David Frum, political columnist for The Atlantic and former speechwriter for President George W. Bush. Frum, who is Canadian-American, shares his unique perspective on the history of American-led democracy and how it has evolved. In this wide-ranging conversation, Frum delves into the resurgence of political interest in the United States, why there will only ever be two political parties, America's role in the war between Russia and Ukraine, and why the Republican Party of today seems to be standing against the ideals of its past. With Frum's in-depth analysis and thoughtful commentary, this episode provides a deep dive into the current state of American democracy and offers a hopeful vision for its future. Don't miss this engaging conversation with one of the most insightful voices in politics today.
David Frum has been active in Republican politics since the first Reagan campaign of 1980. From 2014 through 2017, Frum served as chairman of the board of trustees of the leading UK center-right think tank, Policy Exchange. In 2001-2002, he served as speechwriter and special assistant to President George W. Bush. He holds a BA and MA in history from Yale and a law degree from Harvard, where he served as President of the Federalist Society. Frum is the author of ten books, most recently TRUMPOCALYPSE: Restoring American Democracy (HarperCollins, 2020). His first book, Dead Right, won praise from William F. Buckley as “the most refreshing intellectual experience in a generation” and from Frank Rich in the New York Times as “the smartest book written from the inside about the American conservative movement.”
