Civics, Y'all! Podcast

Civics, Y'all! is a podcast that explores the intersection of civics, politics and our everyday lives. We hope to be a show where people who normally don't follow politics will find more approachable and digestible conversations, and perhaps learn something along the way. This is a political conversation for all of us!

    Civics, Y'all! Noel's Christmas & Civics Episode Part 1

    Noel's been working on this episode for weeks and we had so much material we decided to split it into the two parts. Jadi and I mostly ceded the podcast to Noel for this two-part episode, fittingly, since it's the Noel season. Part I starts with one of Noel's letters - this one is addressed to her dad and features a very special Christmas memory. And then, a conversation between Noel and Megan Romer, one of our early guests on the show. Show Notes Star Trek IV Main Theme Megan's first episode was Episode 2 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Hallmark Christmas movies George C. Scott A Christmas Carol Muppet Christmas Carol Pauline Christianity Prosperity Gospel/Joel Osteen property supremacist small government big church the Anointing of Jesus (nard) Disney World Christmas processional Battlestar Galactica the Amazon wishlist link for the family of Laura evacuees Hurricane Laura Cajun Navy
