America’s Next 50 Years: A 1A Call-In Special (REBROADCAST)

How did you celebrate July 4 this year? What did the country’s landmark 250th anniversary, (the1a.org/segments/what-does-the-u-s-at-250-me…) in honor of the founding of the United States, (the1a.org/segments/the-atlantic-celebrates-ame…) mean to you?

The next 50 years (the1a.org/segments/the-2026-sounds-of-america-…) likely hold a lot of change for our country where democracy, economic uncertainty, technology, and our social fabric are concerned.

What do we want that change to look like? In this previously-aired episode, we opened the phones so that you, our listeners, could tell us.
