Out Now: Blockers | Michael Lewis's New Audiobook

Michael Lewis introduces his new audiobook, Blockers, which tells the story of six career civil servants who were labeled ‘blockers’ and purged from their positions during a slash-and-burn agenda within the executive branch. The work they did—protecting sensitive data, preventing wildfires, and uncovering life-saving research—was essential, yet they were treated as obstacles. The episode explores not the politics, but the human cost when a society suddenly devalues the people on whom its safety and knowledge depend.
