Poet, activist and researcher Glenance Green and former state legislator/gubernatorial candidate Daniel Biss, come together to talk Illinois politics, government and how the heck it all works (or doesn’t) in Springfield. From the games that are played just to let bills see the light of day, to the way lobbyists maneuver to keep them buried, to the secret ways you’re paying for hedge fund managers’ private plane rides...Glenance and Daniel will be pulling back the curtain and shining some light.

    Accountability

    Episode 10 - Our swan song for IL Informed Season 1. After all this talk about how the system works, we dive into how to make the system accountable. What does accountability actually mean? What does it look like? Accountable to whom?  And how do we as individuals navigate through all the confusing nonsense to actually make the change in government we want to see?

    Implementation

    Episode 9 - The work doesn’t stop when a bill becomes a law. In this episode, Daniel and Glenance talk about implementation, enforcement, and why we all need to stay engaged beyond the bill signing ceremony. Hold the champagne, cause it ain’t over yet.  Credits:  Hosts: Glenance Green and Daniel Biss Producer: Kacie Smith Audio Engineer and Editor: AJ Olstad, Noisefloor Asst.

    Knowledge is Power

    Episode 8 -   Transparency! It’s something we’re always begging for, because knowledge actually IS power. And the current lack of transparency is pretty much the reason this podcast exists. But what does true government transparency look like? And how can we the people push for more when this is arguably the most boring government reform issue imaginable? And for your viewing pleasure, that excellent rant from Representative Mike Bost.  Credits:  Hosts: Glenance Green and Daniel Biss Producer: Kacie Smith Audio Engineer and Editor: AJ Olstad, Noisefloor Asst.

    Madigan

    Episode 7 - The inevitable Speaker of the House Mike Madigan episode. A lot has been said about him in the press and a lot of folks already have their minds made up about the powerful Democrat and his role in state government. But we’ve got a tale or two that maybe you haven’t heard before. Credits:  Hosts: Glenance Green and Daniel Biss Producer: Kacie Smith Audio Engineer and Editor: AJ Olstad, Noisefloor Asst.

    BONUS Live Episode

    A detour from our norm with special guests Khadine Bennett with ACLU Illinois and State Senator Ram Villivalam. This episode was recorded live at Lagunitas Brewing Company. Our guests give a recap of what’s happened and look at what’s to come in Springfield this legislative session. Major highlights are the Reproductive Health Act, the graduated/progressive/fair tax, and legalizing recreational marijuana.  Our cohort also gets into questions about equity in state legislation, how folks can influence Springfield, and their personal experience now that Democrats are in control of both the Governor’s seat and the legislature.  A partisanship warning - Given the feelings and stances of the cohort and the audience being based in Chicago, we want to acknowledge that there’s a specific partisan bent to this conversation (and also some of the applause). We hope folks will find it useful and informative regardless of your political affiliation!  Hosts: Glenance Green and Daniel Biss Producer: Kacie Smith Event Producers: Lizzie Turner and Steph Krim Recording: Zachary Sigelko  Theme Music: Ayanna Woods  Additional Compositions: Alexander Babbitt Graphic Design: Judith Mayer Marketing and Social Media: Amber Crossen and Lizzie Turner Photographer: Topher Alexander Special thanks to Patrick Engman, Topher Alexander, and Devin Soule.  And an extra special thanks to Lagunitas Brewing Company
