Episode 37 - Seeking Middle Ground with Author Andrew Shelley

Locally Grown with Jim Fini

Today my guest is Andrew Shelley, author of the book, “American Butterfly”, an excellent exploration of the roots of the American culture wars through the lens of a deep-fried southern fish out of water. We explore Andrew’s transition from a boy born to a conservative southern family to a northern liberal living in Boston and how that has helped him empathize with and find value in the conservative voices that are increasingly shut down in our divided political environment. Don’t miss this fascinating dialogue between a liberal and libertarian searching for common ground in America.
