Holston Featured on 'With Good Reason'
LEXINGTON, Va., Apr. 17, 2026 — Col. Ryan Holston, professor in the Department of International Studies and Political Science and the Jonathan M. Daniels ’61 Chair for Academic Excellence at Virginia Military Institute, will discuss the book he co-edited with Justin Garrison, “The Historical Mind: Humanistic Renewal in a Post-Constitutional Age,” on an
episode of the public radio program
, “With Good Reason,” that will first air April 18. The show airs on 136 radio stations in 36 states.
In the book, published in 2020, Holston argues that the biggest political problems can be traced to a “thinning” of the human character, and that without self-restraint even the best constitution becomes useless.
“With Good Reason” is sponsored by the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities. Local broadcast times, as well as audio files of full programs and companion news features, are on the
“With Good Reason” website
