Understanding Congress

AEI Podcasts

Congress is the least liked and perhaps least understood part of government. But it’s vital to our constitutional government. Congress is the only branch equipped to work through our diverse nation’s disagreements and decide on the law. To better understand the First Branch, join host Kevin Kosar and guests as they explain its infrastructure, culture, procedures, history, and more.

  • Dennis Karpf

    Excellent and knowledgeable guests informed and questioned by concise and cogent moderator. Our citizenship obligations should include every high school civics course to require listening to this podcast. Our fractured republic can be improved by the information of Congress provided by this podcast. Well done.

  • Informative

    This podcast brings fresh points of view in how Congress runs from experts. It explains the more inside look to those things that everyday citizens only scrap the surface of. I appreciate the book recommendations throughout this series.

  • Wonderful, instructive podcast.

    A podcast devoted to understanding Congress has never really been tried. And here we finally are, with perhaps the best guide (Kevin Kosar) to its operations in both theory and practice.
