Episode 310 - THE SENATOR AND THE PIG
Join us on this episode of "The Thick and Mystic Moment" where host Robert John Hadfield delves into the historical impact and personal significance of learning about Joseph McCarthy and McCarthyism. Reflecting on his own educational experiences, Robert explores how these historical events were taught and their portrayal through a decidedly negative lens. This episode not only revisits McCarthy's notorious witch hunts for communists but also parallels it with other historical frenzies like the Salem Witch Trials.
Discover the pivotal role of Ralph Flanders, a senator from Vermont, who courageously stood against McCarthy's destructive tactics.

Robert shares intriguing insights into Flanders’ life, highlighting his late entry into politics and his profound dedication to living authentically according to one's values.
This episode is a powerful reminder of the importance of integrity and the lasting impact of standing up for what is right, even in the face of potential personal destruction. Tune in as we unpack these compelling historical narratives and draw valuable lessons about authenticity and moral courage.
