This week on the show, Jaci, Jen, Nisha, and Charlie get into some of President-Elect Trump's controversial cabinet picks; some consistent trends in elections abroad; and some slightly non-political Top of Minds!
It was a wild Election Day 2024, and Jaci, Charlie, and Nisha are here to break things down. Federal elections, state elections, and Top of Mind, including some killer TV and book recommendations.
This week on the show, Nisha and Charlie get into it in our last episode before the election. How should we follow the results? What states are in play? And when might we know who wins?
This week on the show, Jaci, Nisha, and Charlie discussed the many close elections for Congress that are on the ballot this year; the complications introduced to campaigns and elections thanks to new technology called "deepfakes"; and the hosts tell us what's at the top of their minds this week!
This week on the show: Charlie and Jaci have a brand-new podcast called "Scandalized" on the NPR Network! They talk about the process, and apply some lessons to the recent corruption scandal plaguing the NYC mayor. Plus, Nisha talks us through her adventure speaking out on a construction project in her neighborhood.
This week, Jaci, Charlie, and Nisha talk through swing state politics six weeks out from the election; and a truly ridiculous set of scandals brewing in the North Carolina governor's race. Plus, Top of Mind!
This week, Jaci and Charlie are joined by friend of the show and SPS colleague Dr. Lori Hausegger! Lori talks us through recent developments on the Supreme Court, prospects for the next term, and why court nominations and selection raise the stakes of our elections even more.
Your hosts are out of town at a conference this week! And so, we bring you a classic rebroadcast from March of 2021, when we hosted our good friend and colleague, Dr. Libby Lunstrum. We talk about her research on environmental conservation, the illegal wildlife trade, and more.
This week: Jaci, Jen, and Charlie talk through Donald Trump's recent advertising fiasco at Arlington National Cemetery; Robert F. Kennedy, Jr's outlandish campaign and its legacy; and a potpourri of stories for "Top of Mind."
This week, Nisha and Charlie are joined by their SPS colleague Ashley Nichols, an expert in conflict management and the Director of the School of Public Service's Conflict Management Program. Ashley talks about her background, some key principles of managing conflict, and how to think about the conflict that can be found everywhere in our politics.
