About this listen

Free speech — America’s most sacred promise. But from Eugene Debs in 1919, jailed for a speech against World War I, to Julian Assange and Edward Snowden today, the record shows a different story: dissent isn’t protected, it’s punished. In this episode, Colby Rau dissects the First Amendment, weaving together history, case law, and modern censorship to show how the freedom to speak has been reduced to a hollow shell.
