Letters from Abroad Reflections on America, history, and the present moment This podcast and its companion blog are inspired by Alistair Cooke’s Letter from America, which shaped how many in Britain came to understand the United States and its place in the world. Born in the UK and formed by a life in America, Cooke spent decades explaining one country to the other with calm, unhurried curiosity. I’m attempting something in that spirit: stand-alone reflections on contemporary affairs, seen from an American perspective but filtered through the experience of someone who did not grow up there. It is not imitation, but continuation.
