Democracy is under siege worldwide, and Maxwell Slate—your sharp-tongued, fedora-wearing guide through political chaos—is here to decode the crisis. From ancient Athens to modern authoritarianism, this six-part series dissects how democracy works, why it's failing, and what we can do about it. With the wit of George Carlin and the gravitas of Edward R. Murrow, Maxwell explores voter suppression, disinformation wars, and the slow strangulation of democratic institutions. Whether examining Hungary's descent into competitive authoritarianism or America's constitutional stress test, Maxwell delivers brilliant analysis with theatrical flair. Democracy's future hangs in the balance—let Maxwell show you why it matters. A Quiet Please podcast networks production.
