John's guet this week is Field Reichardt, a political and governmental activist for decade in Western Michigan. They talk over his long term interest in the country of Poland and its leaders, especially the recent candidate for President of Poland, who lost a hotly contested runoff election. He has expanded his interest from Poland to include the Baltic countries of Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia. He reports on his observations and conversations with leaders of thought, media, government and culture in all of those countries after the Russian invasions of Ukraine.
