Mark Levin to Host New Original Podcast Series With Dr. Larry Arnn, President of Hillsdale College

NEW YORK, Nov. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cumulus Media (NASDAQ:CMLS) today announced the launch of a new original podcast series, Liberty and Learning with Mark Levin and Larry Arnn. The 10-part series, hosted by veteran broadcaster and constitutional law expert, Mark Levin, and his good friend, Dr. Larry Arnn, President of Hillsdale College, dives deep into the founding principles of the U.S., as Americans face both crisis and opportunity. Levin and Arnn take listeners on a journey forward, as they unpack the country's basic foundations and the self-government they require.

Mark Levin and Dr. Arnn bring their knowledge and wisdom to bear in a candid conversation between lifelong friends on today's latest news events. They will touch on the points of crisis in America, addressing each in light of our constitutional government, and tackling the pressing issues of our time to see how they fit into the grand tapestry of American history. The discussion will delve deep into the issues at the forefront of our nation's concerns, like education, borders, citizenship, separation of powers, state and local government, and much more.

Find the Liberty and Learning with Mark Levin and Larry Arnn podcast series on The Mark Levin Show podcast feed wherever you listen to podcasts.

Levin said: "Larry Arnn and I have been friends and kindred spirits for 40 years. Our brand-new podcast partnership, Liberty and Learning, is the culmination of decades of discussion, book-writing, scholarship, and good old-fashioned fun and entertainment. And now, we have joined together, on the Westwood One and Hillsdale College podcast networks, in what will be one of the most unique, compelling, informative and, yes, enjoyable programs on any broadcast platform - with our focus to reach and engage as many wonderful patriots as possible!"

Dr. Arnn noted: "Politics are moving faster in a favorable direction than we have seen over the many decades that I have known Mark Levin as a friend. Hope is soaring, and rightly. The most important reason for hope is that President Trump is going to attack the independent power of the bureaucratic state and redouble his effort to drain the swamp. Everything depends upon this fight. If we cannot restore the authority of the people through representative and constitutional government, we shall continue to sink into an unaccountable and semi-despotic government that is impotent against the enemies of freedom and formidable only to the citizen. Can this new kind of regime be overcome? What will be the shape of the battle? How is President Trump intending to go about it now?  I look forward to examining these questions with Mark Levin."
