Democracy Works

The Democracy Works podcast seeks to answer that question by examining a different aspect of democratic life each week — from voting to criminal justice to the free press and everything in between. We interview experts who study democracy, as well as people who are out there doing the hard work of democracy day in and day out. The show’s name comes from Pennsylvania’s long tradition of iron and steel works — people coming together to build things greater than the sum of their parts. We believe that democracy is the same way. Each of us has a role to play in building and sustaining a healthy democracy and our show is all about helping people understand what that means. Democracy Works is part of The Democracy Group, a network of podcasts that examines what’s broken in our democracy and how we can work together to fix it.

“Protests against Tesla embody the outrage against Elon Musk’s DOGE-e behavior. But Musk doesn't seem to care. And given his position in the federal government, he may not have to.”

Very good explainer of the results of the national #elections in #Germany two days ago:

"Germany’s rightward swing, explained – How to make sense of the German elections"

If you have listen to this episode of #TodayExplained which was also aired on several #NPR stations, you will understand how concerning it is that the #Trump administration endorses the radical right wing / fascist German party called #AfD.

I’m not a huge fan of Vox’s #TodayExplained podcast, but their episode on Trump’s stump speech inclusion of the “late, great Hannibal Lecter” matches the energy and craziness of the former President pretty well: https://megaphone.link/VMP1126843056
The late, great Hannibal Lecter by Today, Explained

Donald Trump keeps referencing the infamous fictional cannibal in his speeches. Intelligencer’s Margaret Hartmann attempts to explain why.

Whew, I listened to 200+ hours of podcasts in the past year.

Oof what a terrible take from #todayexplained. Aren’t long covid cases still sitting at 10% of infections? In what world is that “most people” recovering with no problems?

We’re going to look back on this time with a lot of regret. Or we’ll cure long covid and I’ll look like I’m crazy. Either way, I’ll wear a mask, thanks very much. #covid #CovidIsNotOver

The new Cold War - Today, Explained

The Cold War started earlier than we think — and maybe never ended at all. Historian Calder Walton says understanding the US-Soviet conflict prepares us for this era of tensions with Russia and China.
