(10/16/20) The word treason—the only crime specifically defined in the US Constitution—is tossed around a lot by politicians and pundits on both sides of the aisle these days.

Larson is an indispensable guide for anyone seeking to understand the role of treason law in our constitutional democracy. Join us for an examination of what treason is and what can be done about it in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.
