Michael, Jenna, and Chris in the studio in summer 2019.
Before we take a short summer break, Michael and Chris answer your questions about democracy in our current moment. Thank you to everyone who sent in questions; they were excellent!
Some of the things we talk about in this episode include:
- The difference between federalism and the federal government
- The definition of an institution
- How media coverage of the 2020 election will compare to 2016
- What mask wearing says about the health of American democracy
- What the U.S. can learn from other democracies
- Why the “hard work of democracy” is that way
For the next few weeks, we’ll be revisiting some of the episodes in our back catalog (with a twist) and bringing you episodes from other podcasts that we think you’ll enjoy. We’ll be back with new episodes before the end of August.
If you have suggestions for episodes topics or guests for us to tackle in the fall, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We would love to hear from you.
