About Me

I am a historian (PhD, Penn State, 2016) specializing in the intersection of politics and religion in twentieth century America. The Radio Right, my book about the government censorship campaign against conservative radio broadcasters in the 1960s, was published by Oxford University Press in 2020.

I am currently the Director of the Trust and Governance Initiative at the Institute for Humane Studies at George Mason University. I am also an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute and host of the Unintended Consequences podcast. You can find links to a selection of my writing under the “Journalism” and “Scholarship” tabs. Connect with me on Bluesky, TikTok, or Substack.
