We’re joined in Catfish Alley Studio by James Fallows, longtime Atlantic journalist, former White House speechwriter, and co-author of “Our Towns,” to talk about why he and Deb kept returning to the Golden Triangle and what they saw that most outsiders miss: serious education, real industrial growth, civic memory, and the kind of local problem-solving that doesn’t fit cable-news templates.
We dig into what Fallows calls the “ten and a half signs of civic success,” from redevelopment that brings dead space back to life to the institutions that quietly hold towns together.
Then we pivot to Mississippi politics and the state of campaigning now, including a cringe-worthy website tactic aimed at defining a Senate opponent, the double standards that keep “cheap politics” alive, and a surfaced audio clip that raises questions about threats and candidate security.
