    Episode 8: The Election and Soul Searching

    A break from our normal format seemed appropriate given the momentous election we just experienced. I spend a lot of time talking about my broad views on the Executive Branch, Representative Democracy and the Election. It's a little longer than normal and completely unscripted so I apologize for the slight rambling nature. Hopefully it sparks some interesting discussion, however.

    Episode 4 - Changes to the Senate and a new body emerges... a Parliament?

    In this episode we discuss the relatively small changes needed for the senate and the much more monumental addition of a third legislative body. You thought we were getting rid of a bicameral legislature? Nope, we're going to double down on the idea of a divided legislature and make a tricameral body.

    In this episode, we talk about the legislature, the beating heart of a Republic and the thing that, in many ways, has been the most corrupted of our institutions. We talk about a potentially radical solution to the House of Representatives and solutions to dramatically reduce and potentially even eliminate both gerrymandering and the two party system.
