The Show
Two friends discuss the world we live in and how we got here. This podcast grew out of the in-depth conversations that Brooks and Jim have had throughout the years. Each episode has a central topic that covers a bit of history, politics, and finance.

As a Director of Photography, he has covered everything from airborne to underwater expeditions to capture stories around the world. Brooks and his production company, Bonnemaison, Inc.

He lectures around the world, edits Strategic Intelligence , and appears regularly on news programs. He is an advisor on capital markets to the U.S.
Genders and Sexualities
Gender and sexuality can feel natural and even immutable, but science and the lived experience of numerous humans tell us that these categories are far more variable than they may seem.
Unwelcome to America
The American Dream is often portrayed as the hook that pulls people to the United States. What is usually left out of the story is the hell many flee, sometimes a hell fed by the very country in which they seek refuge. The story of U.S. involvement in Central America is a classic example of wars inflicted on people by U.S.
Class
Steel produced in Youngstown, Ohio, helped America win World War II, and it was used to build the bridges that we cross and the buildings in which we live. But in the 1970s, the mills began closing. Some 50,000 well-paid jobs were gone.
Empire
There is a long tradition of imperial denial in the United States. After all, Americans fought the British Empire and have always thought of themselves as different from European colonialists.
Whiteness
Whiteness in America isn’t just the neutral norm against which racial minorities, particularly Black people, are measured. Whiteness in America means having the privilege and power that go along with being part of that supposed norm.
The Half-Life of Democracy
The issue of police violence and racism is a familiar one. It’s been present in the United States since the Republic’s beginnings. And the stories of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tamir Rice and others cannot be understood if we do not know and comprehend that history.
Trailer
How We Got Here is a podcast for journalists about how history and identity shape narrative. As journalists, we like to say we’re writing the first draft of history. But if we don’t know our own history, we run the risk of misinterpreting what we see and what we hear. Of failing to connect the dots.
