Les mer The Good Life, If You Can Keep It

We all know our political system needs some fine-tuning, or an overhaul. Let’s talk about what we can do other than complain and blame the “Others”. Join Erica Schauer, Wes Dodge and others as they explore fixes to our faltering political system. A couple of times a month we will bring you interviews and banter with those who we hope will enlighten us and guide us toward building that more perfect union. If you enjoy discussions about politics, intelligent or otherwise, Wes and Erica will try to educate and entertain.

episode Restoring Power to the Voters: Shea Siegert of Alaskans for Better Elections cover

Restoring Power to the Voters: Shea Siegert of Alaskans for Better Elections

Wes and Erica had the honor of sitting down with Shea Siegert, Campaign Manager for the successful Alaskans for Better Elections movement whose victory in November brought Alaska citizens ranked-choice voting, open primaries, and greater campaign finance transparency. Shea has plenty of thoughts on why voters' powers have become so diminished under the two-party system, how voters can act to take this power back, and what we can do in the Cornhusker State to make a more civil campaign experience a reality. And, as always, Petals and Pricks!

episode BONUS: Jack Gould and Redistricting in Nebraska, 1985 to today cover

BONUS: Jack Gould and Redistricting in Nebraska, 1985 to today

In today's bonus episode, Wes and Erica dig deeper into past redistricting cycles in the Nebraska Unicameral. Jack Gould, longtime Nebraska redistricting aficionado and staff member with Common Cause Nebraska, tells us all about his experiences with redistricting in the 80s, 90s, 00s and the last go-round in 2010. And, as per tradition, Wes and Erica discuss their Petals and Pricks--highlighting Americans who have either acted to strengthen or weaken our democracy.

episode Gavin Geis, Executive Director at Common Cause Nebraska cover

Gavin Geis, Executive Director at Common Cause Nebraska

On this episode, Wes and Erica sit down with Gavin Geis, Executive Director at Common Cause Nebraska to get the skinny on redistricting, gerrymandering, and what we can do to ensure that our future electoral maps are drawn as fairly and transparently as possible. Gavin tells us about the history of his organization, how the redistricting process went down in 2010 (hint: it was, in a word, toxic), and about his efforts to engage the public in drawing out maps of their own communities.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
