Customer Reviews
Great episode on Gerrymandering
One of the biggest problems in American Democracy explained perfectly. Simple to understand and with great detail.
One of the best political science mini series
This is arguably one of the most well-thought-out mini series podcast I have ever listened to. Fabulous storytelling which keeps you fixated on the series; clear-cut analysis which enables you to grasp the nexus of the problem fast; roadmaps being laid out have spurred my thought experiments many times and even hands-on trials.
Great treatment of a vital topic
You were hoping for simple answers to fixing the American political landscape? This introductory but sophisticated treatment of the gerrymandering issue may dash your hopes, but it will leave you thinking hard about one of the most critical, semi-hidden issues in our national politics today. Bravo!
