In this episode of Alive with Steve Burns, Steve sits down with journalist and firearms expert Stephen Gutowski for a calm, clear-eyed conversation about how guns came to occupy such a powerful place in American life and identity. 

Together, they unpack how firearms shifted from practical tools into national mythology - and where that has landed us as a nation today.

There are a thousand podcasts you can listen to. This one listens back.

 

Alive with Steve Burns continues the conversation you began all those years ago. Back then it was letters and numbers and graham crackers. Now it’s all the big, messy questions of being alive. 

Why does money stress us out? Is the American dream gone? What’s the future of truth?

 

Each week, a new guest drops by Steve’s window for a genuine and respectful dialogue between two people just trying to figure it out, together. Funny, tender, and just a little weird, this show invites you to sit down and think with Steve once again and wonder… what it really means to be Alive.
