Sarah Vowell
Description
This week we’re speaking with Sarah Vowell, an author with Montana roots of many bestselling books. She’s a historian, actor, journalist and a regular contributor to This American Life. Sarah recently contributed an essay to Michael Lewis’s edited volume, Who Is Government?
In this conversation Sarah talks about highlighting Pam Wright, an archivist at the National Archives, for Who Is Government? Pam fought to digitize and make archives accessible to the public, something that was not necessarily the case for a rural Montanan. Sarah shares her perspective on the role of government agencies and civic services in solving problems and preserving history.
