The past four years, more or less, I’ve had the opportunity to moderate panels in the CSPAN2/Book TV tent at the Texas Book Festival. The nice thing about this, aside from just the fun of moderating, is that I get to be on TV.
This year I moderated a panel with Tom LoBianco, author of a new biography of Mike Pence, and Anne Nelson, author of a new book on the Council for National Policy, a shadowy group of hard right funders and ideologues dedicated to turning the US into a lovely melange of plutocracy and theocracy. It was cool (the panel, not the shadowy network).
