This program is read by the author.

In Colin Quinn's new book, the popular comedian, social commentator, and star of the shows Red State Blue State and Unconstitutional tackles the condition of our union today.

  • Utah: The Church of States
  • Vermont: The Old Hippie State
  • Florida: The Hot Mess State
  • Arizona: The Instagram Model State
  • Wisconsin: The Diet Starts Tomorrow State

The United States is in a 50-states-wide couples’ counseling session, thinking about filing for divorce. But is that really what we want? Can a nation composed of states that are so different possibly hang together?

Colin Quinn, comedian, social commentator, and writer and star of Red State Blue State and Unconstitutional, calls us out state-by-state, from Connecticut to Hawaii. He identifies the hypocrisies inherent in what we claim to believe and what we actually do. Within a framework of big-picture thinking about systems of government - after all, how would you put this country together if you started from scratch today? - to dead-on observations about the quirks and vibes of the citizens in each region, Overstated skewers us all: red, blue, and purple. It’s ultimately infused with the same blend of optimism and practicality that sparked the US into being.

Colin Quinn has slowly matured into our generation’s mush-mouthed Mark Twain. His incisive takes on each of our fifty states provoke laughs, winces, and tears of bittersweet joy at what a daring, brilliant, foolhardy, arrogant, down to heart, hardworking, lazy, corrupt, idealistic, awesome, and awful (in both the old and new senses) this nation is. Our Empire of Liberty could not have been sent up better.

Is a national treasure. Look up his old, old stand up from '92. Jesus, the man has walked miles

The great CQ knocked it out of the park. Much better than Jim Norton's books.

Can't wait for a take on the election and the next 4 years. Highly recommend his work.

I always enjoy Colins sarcastic perspective.

I used to love a program that Colin hosted on E or Comedy Central where he and a cast of comedians used to bust each other's balls for thirty minutes. Since then I try to support his work in all forms. He is really clever and makes me laugh. This book surprised me. To me it should be required reading in every high school civics class. You learn a lot, laugh a lot and it really makes you think about the state of our country. And it's easy to go back and listen to chapters. I loved it.

Highly recommend!

I could not have asked for a better book to listen to while going about my day. It was a great delivery of opinion on our 50 states peppered with history, some of which I did not know. The History Hyenas podcast interview with Colin Quinn was how I heard about this book and I am very glad I did.

Great delivery of history and opinion.

Mr. Quinn, otherwise known as the savior of end times, has graced us with the words him and his publisher have agreed upon.
That being said they are pretty damn good, as Colin masterfully interprets and deconstructs the fundamental aspects that are plaguing our world and have plagued them for forever on top of a nice history lessen filled with his unique style.

This book is not riddled with humor but an informed and intellectual interpretation that brings to light the irony of the current state of things that often pulls out laughter especially given his way of shaping sentences.

It is very odd hearing Colin read a book when you are used to him just talking, but after getting over it he is fine.

I crave as much Colin as I can get as his sarcasm, his humor, and blatantness is so appealing to me, there is no one who needs a podcast more than Colin Quinn.

Enjoyed the listen, start a podcast, the world needs more of you Colin.

Colin Quinn is an American hero.

Listening to this during election week 2020
and loving it, lets be honest it’s actually very cathartic as well. Quinn has a terrific wit and great delivery.
If you enjoy satire and hilarious comedy, this book I would recommend to you.

An insightful trip through all 50 states and then some
