    Author Jerry Harrington discusses his new book, Thunder from the Prairie: The Life of Harold E. Hughes . During this episode, Ben Kieffer and Harrington discuss Hughes' achievements as governor, such as the creation of Iowa's community college system, and his opposition to the Vietnam War during the late 1960s through the 1970s as senator.

    His achievements also include the spearheading of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, which has led the effort to reframe alcohol use disorder as a medical, rather than moral, issue.

    This episode was originally produced February 8, 2024.
