TGS Live: Life’s Fourth Quarter with John McWhorter

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit glennloury.substack.com Support The Glenn Show at https://glennloury.substack.com Glenn opens last week's livestream by telling longtime conversation partner John McWhorter that doctors believe he has Parkinson's disease, a progressive neurodegenerative condition. He explains that managing it will mean drug therapy and physical therapy, but also an existential reckoning with how to live, and eventually die, with the illness. Loury says periodic updates will become a regular part of the show, since it is ultimately about living honestly and with integrity. The two then move on to McWhorter's column on land acknowledgments, linguistics, and questions from the chat. The Glenn Show is almost entirely audience-supported, so to those of us who are already full subscribers, let me extend a heartfelt thank you. And if you’re not yet a full subscriber, please consider becoming one. The Glenn Show can only do what it does through the generosity of viewers and listeners. For a mere $6/month or $50/year, you’ll get access to weekly livestreams, monthly Q&A episodes with John McWhorter, commenting privileges, access to the full Substack archives, and other exclusive bonus content.
