I thought I was pretty informed about voter suppression but I learned a lot from “Shut Out.” A great podcast.
I was blown away by the information presented in this podcast! A real eye opener, keep up the great work!
I really enjoyed learning about the history of voter suppression from the 1960s to the present. It’s dark, complicated topic that can be hard to understand and upsetting, but Catherine and her team made it digestible and empowering. I finished it in one afternoon and now I want more!
Very timely podcast in light of the 2018 midterms and the many states that have implemented Voter ID laws amongst other types of disenfranchisement and suppression.
Fascinating. I learned so much. Everyone should listen to this. Everyone.
