Centrism

From the creators of the chart-topping podcast Origin Story , a series of short books telling the stories of popular - but often misunderstood - political terms

In a time of political turmoil, when ideas and movements are misunderstood and misrepresented, Ian and Dorian provide clarity, scholarship, wit and essential insight into why our world is the way it is

Too many concepts are bandied about in current affairs without people really understanding them. Ian and Dorian have done the hard work to separate truth from fiction and prejudice, seeking nuance wherever it is available. I wish I could make their writing mandatory
