Great way to learn the nuances of overlooked public policy issues and how the decisions of lawmakers and regulators impact our economy.
I gave it a try and I am glad I did!
Not a public policy aficionado at all, but this show finds a good formula for making seemingly boring topics interesting and relatable. The hosts are great and provide good banter that keeps things lively as well!
This podcast weaves together policy issues that you might not think are connected, but which impact our daily lives and freedoms. All brought to you by people who don’t take themselves too seriously. Highly recommend.
R Street is DC’s best think tank, so I’m excited to have them in my feed.
