Scott Detrow, host of NPR&rsquo;s <em>All Things Considered</em> and coauthor of the upcoming <a href="https://books.apple.com/us/book/american-pope/id6757708297" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>American Pope: Leo XIV&rsquo;s Road From the South Side of Chicago to Vatican City</em></a>, joins guest host Sam Sanders to explore what it means to have an American pope who understands U.S. politics &mdash; and why his influence may be felt far beyond the Catholic Church.</p>
