Podcasts about civic duty

In this special Fourth of July episode, we're talking about The Big Beautiful Bill—yes, it passed, and yes, it's time to get on board. While I normally support smaller, single-issue legislation (so we can actually see what's in these bills), there's still a lot to be excited about here. From major investments in border security to a strong push toward deporting illegal immigrants, this bill takes some long-overdue steps in the right direction.Sure, there are parts that could've been better—and no surprise, Elon Musk isn't thrilled because it didn't personally benefit him as much as he hoped—but overall, I agree with the majority of what's in it.Tune in as we break down the good and the bad inside The Big Beautiful Bill—and what it means for the future of our country.Happy Fourth of July, and let's keep America strong.

What if everything you think you know about civic engagement is stuck in the past—and the real power lies in everyday actions between elections, not just in the voting booth or the halls of government? In this revealing episode of The Tech Humanist Show, host Kate O'Neill sits down with Mila Atmos—creator of the Future […]

Cecily DeAngelo read an article in the New York Times about wildlife crossings, and ever since, she has been laser-focused on developing wildlife crossings in the Roaring Fork Valley of Colorado. She grew up there and has witnessed first hand the carnage along Pitkin County's roadways... dead bears, deer, elk, rabbits, and more and more moose. These vehicle wildlife accidents decimate wildlife in the Roaring Fork Valley and are responsible for 30% of vehicle accidents there.  What Cecily learned is that the Roaring Fork Valley, which runs from Aspen to Glenwood Springs, Colorado, is bisected in terms of wildlife and biodiversity. Highway 82, which runs parallel to the Roaring Fork River, has caused a dangerous divide for wildlife. To address this she formed Roaring Fork Safe Passages, a citizen-led coalition that raises awareness about the opportunity to build wildlife crossings, either overpasses or underpasses. Supported initially by the Aspen Skiing Company, she and her colleagues developed a "Prioritization Study" that ranks sections of the highway for safe crossings. Now, working with the communities in the Valley, and hopefully with the Colorado Department of Transportation, she is working raising funds to build overpasses in key areas, funneling wildlife in specific areas thanks to well-designed fencing for safe crossings.The podcast also features Cecily's determination to get involved in politics. Inspired by the former president of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern, who gave birth when in office, Cecily is passionate about urging young citizens -- reproductive age and underrepresented -- to take action and to get involved with school boards, commissions, and councils. In 2024, she ran for Snowmass Village City Council and won, expanding its female majority... working on key issues such as community planning, affordable housing, and sustainability. Despite the challenging juggling act of raising a family, managing Roaring Fork Safe Passages, and serving her community on City Council, Cecily is excited and fulfilled by positively influencing the region where she lives, and encourages others to follow suit.

This week on All the Feelings: Adulting, Pete and Tommy explore the emotional rollercoaster of civic duty—that grown-up responsibility that makes you feel both powerful and powerless, often at the same time. Pete recounts his surprisingly moving journey from accidentally running for office (yes, really) to wielding his democratic paddle in precinct committee meetings that felt like Parks and Rec meets Newhart, with just a dash of intergalactic colonization thrown in for fun.We kick things off with a signature All the Feelings guided meditation, designed to soothe your soul and slowly reveal your complicity in the collapse of public institutions. Then Tommy takes us on a whirlwind tour of his lifelong, unfulfilled dream of serving on a jury—a civic fantasy frequently interrupted by mistrials, celebrity impersonators, and the birth of Occupy Wall Street.It's an episode about participation, paperwork, powerlessness, and the strangely intoxicating scent of a freshly unsealed ballot. And in the end, it's a reminder that real change often starts not in Washington, but in a library basement that smells like Folgers.Become a Feeling Friend!Help us keep the precinct weird: allthefeelings.funGet early access, bonus content, stickers, and the satisfaction of supporting emotional democracy for only $35 a year.

Send us a textWhat if the church could transform society by aligning itself with the struggles of the oppressed? Join us as we examine the life and legacy of Gustavo Gutierrez, who challenged traditional Christian teachings and advocated for liberation theology during the revolutionary 1960s. We explore how his groundbreaking ideas, rooted in Marxist principles, called for the church's active role in social justice and the liberation of the poor. This discussion delves into the complex relationship between faith, politics, and societal change, highlighting the tensions between innovative theological concepts and established religious doctrines.Obituaries serve as profound records of history and personal narratives. We navigate the world of obituaries by contrasting the detailed, balanced accounts often found in major publications with the intimate, heartfelt memorials that families create. By examining these narratives, we emphasize the importance of remembering individuals with moral and spiritual accountability, while also recognizing the value of obituaries for genealogical research. Additionally, we offer guidance for first-time voters on how to approach their civic duties during an election season, ensuring they can honor their personal and spiritual values amidst the political landscape.In a world where voting is both a privilege and a responsibility, we explore the ethical considerations that voters, particularly Christians, face as they evaluate candidates. Abstaining from voting can inadvertently amplify the influence of others, thus carrying moral implications of its own. This episode underscores the importance of informed and conscientious voting, encouraging listeners to evaluate candidates through personal and biblical convictions. By focusing on harm reduction and choosing candidates who pose the least moral risk, we reflect on the broader implications for democracy and the necessity of participating in elections with a thoughtful and pragmatic approach.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – As early voting begins, my wife and I proudly cast our ballots in person. A pamphlet in Tennessee claims the state leads in election integrity, but it got me thinking: can we trust the process nationwide? With officials changing election procedures and the FBI quietly altering crime statistics, trust in our institutions seems increasingly fragile.

On the latest episode of the Reading With Your Kids podcast, host Jed Doherty had the pleasure of speaking with two talented children's book authors and illustrators - Jacob Grant and Wade Hudson.  Jacob Grant shared the inspiration behind his delightful new picture book "Umami," which follows a penguin who ventures out to try all kinds of exciting new foods. Jacob drew from his own experiences as a parent, noting how his kids' diverse tastes - from spicy-loving to ultra-bland - informed the story. He also discussed his family's creative background, including his grandmother's artistic talents and his mother's work as an art educator.  Jacob expressed his preference for creating both the story and illustrations for his own books, though he also enjoys the challenge of illustrating for other authors. He gave us a sneak peek at his upcoming project "Turtle Slept In," about a sea turtle who's the last to hatch and has to cross a busy beach. Jed invited Jacob to come back and celebrate the release of that book. Next, Jed chatted with Wade Hudson about his timely new picture book "The Day Madear Voted." Wade shared how this story was inspired by his own mother's experience voting for the first time after the Civil Rights Movement. He emphasized the importance of understanding the history and struggles behind voting rights, and getting young people engaged in the democratic process. Wade spoke passionately about the value of open conversations, both within families and across communities. He described how sharing personal stories can foster empathy and help people appreciate different perspectives. Wade expressed hope that "The Day Madear Voted" will continue sparking meaningful discussions about civic engagement. Both Jacob and Wade provided insights into the creative process, family dynamics, and the power of children's books to shape young minds. It was a delightful discussion full of wisdom, humor, and a love for storytelling.

Large media outlets often highlight the extreme sides of our nation, amplifying polarized perspectives that distort the bigger picture. This coverage can create a sense of isolation, especially when reality doesn't align with our expectations. It is only when we perform our civic duty and get involved in our local communities that we feel a sense of control over our lives and the personal pursuit of happiness. To discover how we can better fulfill our civic duty, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks to the President of the National Civic League , Doug Linkhart. Doug describes how decisions made at the local level of government are foundational for the pursuit of happiness in America. And how citizens who express their needs are at the intersection of personal civic duty and government effectiveness.This episode is a special edition of the Good Citizens Election Season Survival Guide which is designed to help restore common sense and sanity in a crazy world… Remember, civic duty plays a role here.This episode is proudly sponsored by:BIOptimizers — Offers health and fitness supplements for optimal well-being and performance.
