4.9 out of 5 stars from 49 ratings
  • Civics 101

    What I like most about this podcast is that Grant goes beyond the headlines into history. For example, in the Oct. 23 episode, we learned about the history of White House renovations — context for the bulldozing that’s happening there now. MIMS is smart, timely, and an important listen for anybody interested in the “why it matters” of today’s headlines.
