Episode notes

Bonnie Greer is a Chicago‑born playwright, critic and public intellectual who has spent forty years decoding Britain from the inside—and America from a wary distance. From movies to Question Time, from Chicago to the upper reaches of British cultural life, she has watched the American dream and the British establishment at very close quarters.

 

From Trump as a ‘mook’ to the politics of protecting “my stuff” and the possibilities of constitutional loopholes, Bonnie tells us how it is—what might really be happening to America, what the British never say out loud, and what it means to be standing on the edge of a “post‑America” world.
