#201: The Global Rise of Conservatism—Dr. Steve Turley

By his own account, Dr. Steve Turley is by nature a pessimist. You might find that hard to believe given his downright exuberant YouTube videos, which he publishes not once but twice a day. The Delaware scholar, author, teacher, and classical guitarist communicates with an infectious sense of enthusiasm on topics most conservatives are down in the mouth about.

In this extended interview, “Dr. Steve” gets personal, and, with Chestertonian good cheer, does a deep dive into the inspiration for Turley Talks, and why he sees secular liberalism as in its dying phase worldwide. A fascinating Orthodox Christian raconteur and red pill dispenser!
