Budziszewski joins The Spectacle Podcast hosts Melissa Mackenzie and Scott McKay and offers insight into his new book, Pandemic of Lunacy:  How to Think Clearly When Everyone Around You Seems Crazy. Melissa and Scott inquire about higher academia and how J instructs college students in a world of AI. J also shares his experiences teaching as a professor and his hope for young conservatives. Tune in to hear their discussion!
