Heather Cox Richardson's Impeachment Marathon

<p>Be honest: how closely are you following President Trump’s Senate impeachment trial?</p> <p>Maybe you’ve tuned out altogether, since the outcome seems like a foregone conclusion. Maybe you’re checking the news sites or social media for the occasional update, or even tuning in to live coverage on cable or NPR on occasion.</p> <p>Whatever your approach, though, you’re probably not following it anywhere *near* as closely as Heather Cox Richardson. For months, Richardson, a professor of history at Boston College, has been writing a daily digest of all things impeachment, titled <a href="https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Letters From An American</a> — and to her surprise, it’s attracted a something of a cult following.</p> <p>Adam Reilly and Peter Kadzis sat down with Richardson and talked about why she started her project; what it’s been like to be continually immersed in a story many people actively avoid; what she’s learned that she didn’t know before; and what the stakes are for American democracy as the Senate weighs its options.</p>
