In the fall of 1727, a young Ben Franklin and a group of friends founded the Junto Club to discuss the great issues of their day. Franklin's club members consisted of concerned Americans, tradesmen and artisans, all united in a common-sense perspective in dealing with a complicated world. They sought not only to grapple with hard questions, but to improve themselves through thoughtful conversation on morals, politics, and natural philosophy. Our Junto Podcast series revives the spirit of Dr. Franklin's initiative with BFF's strong focus on U.S. foreign affairs, America's role in the world, and the institutions that make policy.
