Description

Today’s pod is a Candid Conversation with return guest, former award-winning executive producer at Funny or Die and author of “OMG WTF Does the Constitution Actually Say?” Ben Sheehan. Ben has written a modern day breakdown of our founding documents that explains everything we never learned in school in an easily digestible book filled with humor. In his previous episode we discussed the first 12 Amendments, the first 10 which we call the Bill of Rights and the last two which were the amendments ratified prior to the Civil War. This time we take a look at America 2.0 post civil war and Amendment 13-27 with a special focus on the very ‘of the moment’ 14th Amendment. This is a fun way to learn what we should probably already know with a bunch of context mixed in.

American Democracy is not promised to us and, with all the forces working against it, saving it will take a level of work most people aren’t ready for. The Politics Girl Podcast is here to give people a reason to care and a reason to fight. Our goal is to inspire. To instill in people a true understanding of what this country COULD be, if the right people were fighting for it, and what it WILL be if they don’t. It’s a political podcast yes, but more than that, it’s a podcast about America’s potential, where one passionate, and slightly mouthy, immigrant attempts to motivate the country to become what it promised to be but, so far, has yet to become. You’ll leave more knowledgeable, more engaged, and more sure that you, personally, can make a difference to the future of American democracy. Everyone’s got a little time for that right? Subscribe for new episodes every Tuesday. We’re in a fight for our country. We sure as hell better know what we’re fighting for. xo
