I have a signed copy of Bill Moyers' first book "Listening to America: A Traveler Rediscovers His Country," so also have a very long time appreciation of his views.
Every time I saw Heather in person there were local or state legislators who took up the calling to help real people. The first event I could attend, I saw one who dove into becoming a problem solver on the Transportation Committee. Later events had others with similar in depth knowledge and concern for local variations of problems and how they fit in state and national concerns. It makes it seem more important than ever to make the local connections to see what all the people think and how they can work out better solutions. For me, without prior experience, that would seem like trying to find ways to learn from the Deliberative Poll like that shown at: https://www.kpbs.org/news/arts-culture/2011/09/26/people-whats-next-california
I bought the Bill Moyers book on his 13,000 mile bus tour, and stopped at the John Steinbeck Center in Salinas, just to get a picture of his GMC camper truck, "Rocinante," (named after Don Quixote's horse) that he took around the country as he described in "Travels with Charlie." You could say I have a "thing" for people that travel around and see how people are doing around the country (it's why I drove OTR 170,000 miles over a year and a half, after 385,000 of us working for aerospace companies were given the chance to explore post Cold War, non-military/aerospace careers). It's not nearly the miles Heather has put in, nor the range of people she gets to interact with but it is an important part of my life.
I’ve been woke for decades thanks to Bill Moyers, who saw what was coming down the pike. I got laughed at by Fox fools

Today, inspired to sign up for LFAA by the interview I saw, I'll be re-watching https://billmoyers.com/story/bill-moyers-and-heather-cox-richards-on-her-daily-letters/
and looking at the many other videos at:
