“It’s not like there’s a textbook or some guidebook that teaches you how to behave or how to react when your husband becomes an exile.”

Listen to the SLR podcast with Deborah and James Fallows

There a few couples like Deborah and James Fallows, who have spend more than half a decade talking to people and visiting towns across America to produce "Our Towns," first a New York Times bestseller, published last year, and now a series in The Atlantic. They're some of the smartest, most diligent people reporting on the state of the country today and they joined Jacob for a first-ever, two-in-one SLR podcast to discuss their distinct reporting styles, the power of positive reporting, and the lessons they've learned from their travels around the country.
