Thoughtful and well researched. Might not always be a deep dive if that is what you are looking for but provides a wonderful overview of diverse civics topics from American girl dolls to the electoral college.

Excellent podcast!

You two are helping to Make America Strong Again - one episode at a time. Fun, informative, insightful! Listen to this podcast if you want to understand today and historically the United States. I am not a civics junkie, AND I have found this podcast invaluable in helping me understand topics that affect our lives. You two are the best at what you do! Thanks!

I Thought This Was Going to Be Boring!

Boy was I wrong. I hated civics in high school. Thank you for providing a fresh new look on civics that is both entertaining and informative. I grew up watching Schoolhouse Rock on Saturday mornings while eating my Cap’n Crunch. This is truly Schoolhouse Rock for adults. I listened to every past episode and eagerly await each new one to drop. Please keep up this very important work.

Must listen for all in these troubling times.

I’m really enjoying Civics 101. It’s such a great podcast, and I’m genuinely glad I found it. I appreciate how clearly they explain their topics—it makes complex civic issues easy to understand without talking down to the listener. Informative, approachable, and well done. 👏
