Season one of In Dissent traces the founding ideals of the Declaration of Independence from the revolutionary moment of their birth to the courtrooms where they’ve been tested, twisted, and sometimes abandoned. Each episode pairs vivid historical storytelling—a man riding through the night to break a deadlocked vote, a printer setting type for a document that could get him hanged—with landmark Supreme Court cases that reveal the distance between America’s founding promise and its legal reality.

Meet Anastasia Boden

Constitutional Scholar & Senior Legal Analyst

Host Anastasia Boden lives and breathes liberty. For over a decade she’s defended freedom like it’s her job—because it is— fighting to restore the fundamental rights of entrepreneurs and small businesses nationwide. She killed Houston’s busking ban, sparked certificate-of-need reform in three states and got Virginia’s happy-hour advertising ban repealed. (And she’s just getting warmed up.)

She’s also a fixture at SCOTUSblog, The Wall Street Journal, on NewsNation, Fox, CBS, and John Stossel. Hence, the nickname: SCOTUS Barbie.

Anastasia’s superpower? An obsession with history that turns each episode into a lively time machine. Vivid storytelling and deep legal chops connect the Founders to today and empower listeners with a deeper understanding of where we’re going.
