Do you shrink into a corner when people start talking about government or politics? You're definitely not alone.
In the Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln called the U.S. a "government of the people, by the people, [and] for the people." But if you're one of those people, how do you participate in the democratic process in a meaningful way?
My guests, Hannah McCarthy and Nick Capodice, hope to demystify some of the complexities of U.S. civics. They're the hosts of a public-radio podcast called "Civics 101" and the authors of the upcoming book "A User's Guide to Democracy: How America Works," which will be published on September 8.
Starting September 7, Nick and Hannah will be taking over the Quick and Dirty Tips "Unknown History" podcast for a "User's Guide to Democracy" mini-series. Over four weekly episodes, they'll give listeners the quick and dirty basics about how the U.S. government works, share some fascinating history, and help you understand how to make your voice heard as an involved citizen.
I was delighted to talk with them today about interesting stories that cover the intersection of words, writing, and government.
You can catch up with Nick and Hannah at the "Civics 101" website.
