https://inkandescentradio.com/series/david-o-stewart-show/ About the Show: History is the theme of each episode of the David O. Stewart Show, as David interviews historians and other experts about the past to help us understand the present, and plan ahead with purpose for the future. Season 1: The Democracy We Must Keep Based on his June 2026 title, David explains that 250 years ago the United States started as a bold experiment: a government based not on royal power, but on the idea that free people should govern themselves. From Patrick Henry’s cry for liberty to the Constitution’s framework for self-government, David explores nine key documents that proclaimed America’s founding principles. Through the voices of Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Hamilton, Thomas Paine, and others, this book reveals the arguments, fears, and ambitions that produced a radical new system of government. “These founders were imperfect men facing an uncertain time,” David says. “Yet their ideas — about liberty, law, and the limits of power — remain essential to the nation today.” Fri, 04 Sep 2026 12:18:50 +0000 en-US © 2026 Inkandescent Radio The Voice of Entrepreneurs Inkandescent Radio episodic About the Show: History is the theme of each episode of the David O.
