This Is Critical

Stitcher & Virginia Heffernan

Fearless, sophisticated culture criticism for all generations. Nothing is off-limits, nothing dumbed down.

It's time we took a critical lens to every facet of our shared experience. And that's what Virginia Heffernan is prepared to do.

Victor Ray, sociologist and author of the new book On Critical Race Theory, joins Virginia for a deep dive into both the CRT panic and what the theory actually is.
