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.
This is a delight. I have learned a lot, had more refreshed, and chuckled quite a bit with some episodes! Thank you, New Hampshire Public Radio people. I have recommended this to many people and will mention it on an activism mailing list I write!

They bring great guests to the show. I’d only wish they’d talk a little faster and go more in depth.
