American Enough

America's identity is evolving in real time. Immigrants are being scoffed at for looking a certain way and not being "American" enough. Transgender individuals are being determined not "fit enough" to serve in our military. Sexual assault and neo-nazi behavior is being condoned by the Oval Office. The First Amendment is being ridiculed. And, America's moral authority is eroding internationally, begging the question of who is "enough" of an American ally. Former Obama White House senior advisor and Chief of Staff to the Under Secretary of Commerce, Vikrum Aiyer, is joined by journalists, comedians, politicians, activists, and listeners, to unpack this crucial existential moment for our nation's identity.

    Worth a listen - superb content
    If you aren’t already subscribed to this podcast, you really should. Thought provoking, honest, eloquent, and with some of the best “real talk” conversations of today. I learn something in every episode, and it helps deepen my own thinking on some of the toughest issues our country is grappling with.

    Happy I stumbled on this podcast
    I've been looking for a podcast that is full of relevant, contemporary discourse that is also not boring. The host brings on interesting and powerful guests that bring their field expertise and personal points of view - not to mention the guy has got a lot of experience himself! There is also something to be said about a podcast host that you think you could be friends with.

    Vikrum is keeping a finger on the pulse of America
    Brilliant and informative podcast. If you are interested in the political landscape of our country, you have to listen to Vikrum Aiyer. Aneesh Raman's episode on how words can shape the heartbeat of this country was fantastic. Thank you for keeping us up to date with these important topics and current events! :)

    An important podcast
    "American Enough"? Brilliant! Every American should be listening to this show. Finally someone saying how it is without political alliance. I've already shared this with a dozen friends because this needs to be heard widely. Congrats Mr. Aiyer.
