John McWhorter – January 2025 Q&A

23

Every month or so, John McWhorter and I sit down to answer questions posed by full subscribers here at The Glenn Show. We’re well into February, but we had a batch of questions from last month that we hadn’t yet answered. I really like this installment of the series, so I wanted to offer it up as a regular episode of the show. Q&A episodes like this are just one of the benefits you receive as a full subscriber to this Substack. You’ll also get early access to weekly episodes of The Glenn Show (Mondays instead of Fridays), semi-regular bonus episodes, the opportunity to ask questions for Q&As, full access to the archives, and other assorted benefits. My team and I couldn’t keep the show going without the support of our full subscribers. If you become one, it would mean the world to me. And for those of you who already are full subscribers: thank you!
