Rudin draws on decades of news coverage and analysis to unpack the breathtaking electoral brawl between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.\n\nNext, weighing in from the U.K.: Dan Snow, aka \"The History Guy.\" Snow, who hosts BBC programs on his favorite subject and takes listeners on far-flung adventures via his \"History Hit\" podcast, contrasts the oddities of the current American presidential campaign with legendary tales of Parliament, the papacy and beyond.\n\nOur theme music is composed by Breakmaster Cylinder.\n\nOur producer is Alan Haburchak.","author_name":"The Economist and Mic"}
