A Conversation with Don Lemon
In an era where media, politics, and faith are increasingly intertwined, understanding the role of religion in shaping American democracy has never been more critical—especially for those in the business of communications. On this episode of That Said, host Michael Zeldin sits down with Don Lemon, Emmy-winning journalist, best-selling author, and cultural commentator, to discuss his new book, I Once Was Lost: My Search for God in America.
More than just a memoir, Don’s latest work is a deeply personal exploration of faith—one that also serves as a stark warning about the political co-opting of religion by the religious right and its broader implications for democracy. Having spent decades at the forefront of news, from anchoring on CNN to launching his own media platform, The Don Lemon Show, Don is no stranger to navigating complex narratives. His voice has not only shaped public discourse but has also challenged conventional perspectives, making him one of the most influential communicators of our time.
Join Michael and Don for an insightful conversation that goes beyond headlines, unpacking the evolving role of media in today’s ideological battleground and what it means for those shaping the public narrative. Whether you're a journalist, PR professional, or communications strategist, this discussion will provide.
