Ashley, Please is your unhinged civic education. Every episode, we take one concept: how Congress really works, why midterms shift presidential power, what the news cycle keeps getting wrong and we break it down completely. And we cover the news. Every week, through the lens of someone who has watched it be made, spun, blocked, and passed at three in the morning when the cameras were off. Subscribe. Share it with the person in your life who keeps saying they don't follow politics because that's exactly who this show is for. Part civic class. Part podcast. Fully unhinged.

    Ep2: Civics Didn't Hit Different Until Now

    How Congress actually works: committees, leadership, gridlock and why a story from this week is a perfect case study in all of it. The conversation also covers the challenges of teaching civics to different generations, the mechanics of Congress, the failure to extend FISA Section 702, engaging young people in politics, the legislative process, power dynamics, reaching different generations, and influence and pressure in politics.

    Ashley, Please - Trailer

    Welcome to Ashley, Please. The podcast for people who know politics matters but don't always have the time, energy, or emotional bandwidth to figure out what politicians are talking about. I'm Ashley Munson, and every week we're translating political jargon into plain English, exposing the fine print nobody reads, and connecting the dots between government decisions and your everyday life. Because somewhere between City Hall, Springfield, and Washington, somebody made a decision that affects your paycheck, your neighborhood, your future... or damn near all three. Part civic class. Part podcast. Fully unhinged. So whether you're politically obsessed or politically exhausted, pull up a seat.
