In this episode, Anthony and Clay speak with Brent Morden, a man who wears many hats. Brent is a professional gigging musician, the Pep Band Director at Columbia University, the Director of FAIR in the Arts, and the Arts Caucus Chairman of the New York Young Republicans Club. Unique among his peers, Brent is a conservative Republican. In our conversation, we delve into Brent's political journey, FAIR's (The Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism) efforts against identity politics in the arts, the challenges of being in the ideological minority in a predominantly progressive industry, and much more!
