Frank Costanza of Seinfeld made “the airing of grievances” into a holiday. Renowned New York Times columnist Frank Bruni has elevated it to an art. Bruni brings his signature thoughtfulness to examining America’s obsession with the joy of taking offense. Joined by Interfaith America’s Eboo Patel, topics include Fox News, the success of LGBTQIA+ activism, and how unity is essential to a well-functioning society.
