Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Patrick Radden Keefe
Q: What has journalism taught you about memory and its reliability?
Keefe discusses memory as a process rather than a static record, highlighting eyewitness testimony's unreliability and the importance of corroborating memories with recordings, notes, and interviews to approach the truth.
Portland Monuments Project: Past
Q: How will the Elk's return and the context added to monuments influence Portland's public art in the future?
Contextual elements and broader storytelling accompanying reinstated monuments are intended to reflect a fuller history, engage diverse communities, and anchor civic spaces with more honest, inclusive narratives.
Portland Monuments Project: Past
Q: What do you think the Thompson Elk was originally for, and how has that meaning shifted over time?
The Elk served as a functional statue tied to the city's early needs (watering draft animals) and later became a symbol that could bear many meanings, from a place of gathering to a site for reflection on public space and history.
Jill Lepore
Q: How easy should it be to amend the Constitution, and do we need another constitutional convention?
Lepore argues that the Constitution is changing quickly and largely through executive action rather than formal amendments, warns against fear of change, and suggests that a MAGA-type constitutional framework reflects current anxieties; she questions the practicality and desirability of another constitutional convention, implying that the status quo has both strengths and risks.
Jill Lepore
Q: What's Congress doing today again?
The host highlights a concern about congressional activity, and Lepore responds by noting that Congress has become less active on certain issues, illustrating the idea that formal amendment progress is not the primary driver of constitutional change today.
