Podcasts about civics 101

Canada, the UK & France just had a bunch of election so Professor Jeff pulls out the chalkboard to give everyone a lil' civics lesson on foreign elections. 

We are revisiting one of the Broker's favorite episodes this week. Welcome to Civics 101! Amber and Erika are taking the Brokers back to school with this episode. So many of us have been propagandized in school and through media to believe that our nation is a democracy founded by the people for the people, and that voting and political participation were intended to keep government directly accountable to the people. However, through detailing the circumstances under which our nation was founded and the great distrust that many Founders harbored towards common people, it is clear that this nation never intended for everyday people to wield political power or exert significant influence. By debunking myths about the power of voting and highlighting the role that racism and slavery played in the formation of this country, we lay out why it is so important to understand how the American political system really works and who it was designed to benefit. Take a listen to get the scoop!

Aaron Edwards (frmly All Caps, currently the Uncle Show) joins the pod to talk about the downfall of the Suns, the rise of the NBA Silly Economy, the debate of who has the sauce, and more!

Joe Grogan, President Trump's former Assistant for Domestic Policy, joins Rep. Crenshaw to take a deep dive into two of the most complex policy debates in Washington: the federal budget and healthcare policy. They examine how the budget process works, the different roles that the White House and Congress play in crafting it, and the political dynamics of current budget negotiations. And they cover some of the biggest challenges facing America's healthcare system, the regulatory frameworks surrounding it, and what Republicans' end goal for American healthcare should look like.  Joe Grogan served as Assistant to President Donald J. Trump and Director of the Domestic Policy Council, where he was the lead advisor on a variety of domestic policy issues relating to health care and regulatory initiatives. Prior to that, he served as the Associate Director for Health Programs at the Office of Management and Budget, where he was responsible for overseeing all domestic health spending. He is a Senior Fellow at the USC Schaeffer Center for Health Policy and Economics. Follow him on Twitter at @RealJoeGrogan.

Welcome, B2P Podcast Listener to one of our new series to start out 2023.  I have been blessed to know Rob Miller since 2019.

I'm just a bill, on Capitol Hill… do you remember that song, from Schoolhouse Rock? If that jogs your memory, this is the episode for you. If you're too young to remember that song, this episode is for you. If you hate that song, this episode is for you.  Why? Because this episode is about civics - in other words, how our government functions. We're at a pretty critical time in our country's history.  With all of what's been in the news, through the disastrous Speaker of the House election in the House of Representatives, and in the discussions we've had, and will have, about Supreme Court decisions, and how where we are right now in 2023 is basically setting the stage for the crucial Presidential election of 2024 - this is a topic that we probably all should know a lot more about. Because right now, we don't.  What to listen for:  The current state of civic education in the US What the three branches of government are, and how each of them work A perspective on the recent Speaker of the House (of Representatives) election - one which went 15 rounds, for the first time in one hundred years Details like the difference between judges and justices, how long Senators and Representatives are in office for, and how a bill becomes a law What YOU can do to be an engaged citizen  Resources to read for more information:  Find your senators: https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm Find your representatives: https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative More specifics on the data we quoted in the episode:  https://kids-clerk.house.gov/grade-school/lesson.html https://constitutioncenter.org/blog/the-speaker-of-the-house-and-the-constitution https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/how-the-speaker-of-the-house-gets-picked https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/amendment-10/ https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/questions-and-answers/100q.pdf https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/5288/text https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/879/text

Tuesday, October 18th, 2022   The House and the Senate have mostly the same powers: they both propose and vote on bills that may become law. So why does the House have 435 members, and the Senate have 100? Why does legislation have to pass through both sides, and what kinds of power do each have individually? And finally: what role do you, as a voter, play in ensuring that Congress, and your Congressional delegation, is working in your best interests?   This episode features the opinions of former staffers from both chambers, Andrew Wilson and Justin LeBlanc,  former member of the CA assembly, Cheryl Cook-Kallio, CNN political analyst, Bakari Sellers, and the inimitable political science professor from Farleigh Dickinson, Dan Cassino.   Follow Civics 101 on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/civics101pod    Follow Mila on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/milaatmos    Follow Future Hindsight on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futurehindsightpod/   Love Future Hindsight?

Voting day for municipal elections across BC is October 15. What attracts someone to put their name forward for local government and what should they expect? What is it that Council can and cannot do? Today we are chatting with Stephen Fleming, our City Clerk, to talk about everything that is Election 2022. 

This week, we're partnering with our colleagues at NHPR's Civics 101 podcast to dive into the Supreme Court's decision overturning Roe v. Wade. The United States Supreme Court takes its own precedent very seriously — and rarely overturns major decisions. But the court did something different last week, revoking abortion access as a protected right. What makes this moment unique, and what does it suggest about the future of Supreme Court precedent? Civics 101, an NHPR podcast, has explored these questions in recent episodes on precedent and the Supreme Court. Host Hannah McCarthy and Nina Varsava, a law professor at University of Wisconsin, joins Rick Ganley to talk more about this.

To visitors, she's a lone Asian elephant. But to a team of animal rights lawyers, she's a prisoner. They've petitioned state courts for a writ of Habeas Corpus; a legal maneuver that, if granted, would declare Happy a legal person who deserves to be freed. It's the latest case in an ongoing fight to extend basic human rights to animals – one that could have big repercussions in the natural world. Because this is a case that deals with animals AND the law, two podcasts from New Hampshire Public Radio have teamed up to take it on: Outside/In and Civics 101.

Have you ever been to a city council meeting? Odds are good that the answer is no. After all, weeknights are really busy when you've got a job to wake up for, kids to tuck in, rent to worry about ... But here's the thing. The relatively small number of community members who DO attend public meetings don't often represent the range of backgrounds and priorities that exist in the community at large. One of the reasons I started this podcast was to encourage more types of people to participate in local government. Cities need diverse participation in order to have fair representation. So the goal of this episode is to make city council and other public meetings seem more approachable. Journalist Robin Epley helps me break it down: how public meetings are structured, how to participate, how to make sure your voice is heard when you don't have hours to spare. Action Item: Read the article Robin wrote when she covered government for at the Enterprise-Record in Chico: "How do city council meetings work? Here's a primer." Then go to San Luis Obispo's website and subscribe to their email updates so you'll know when an issue you care about is coming up for a vote. Bonus Item: Make a pledge to speak during public comment or email your council members at least once this year. If you can do that, you'll be helping to make sure citizens like you are represented when local decisions are made. Episode produced by Francisco Martinez. Music by Wes Bisheff.

Nurses are often frustrated about policies and regulations governing nursing practice, mainly when they're developed by individuals who lack healthcare experience. This 3-part series provides an overview of why nurses should be involved in policy, the legislative process, and how to communicate with policymakers. A significant number of nurses are channeling these frustrations into positive initiatives as advocates. They are assuming new roles to influence the programs, rules, policies, and regulations that govern the nursing profession, the functioning of the broader health care system, and the communities we serve. Drs. Melissa Batchelor and Alison Hernandez, are both nurses who agree that any nurse  can become a policy advocate at the local, statewide, or federal level by understanding how the political system works and what approaches can affect policy.  Key points covered in this episode:  ✔️ Nurses are innately health policy experts. Dr. Alison Hernandez is a Health and Aging Policy Fellow (2019-2020) in the U.S. House of Representatives. As a fellow passionate about health policy and helping older adults achieve the highest quality of life, Dr. Alison Hernandez stressed that nurses could be political and advocate for whatever it is that they care for ✔️Who you elect matters. Who we vote to represent makes a difference to affect change and influence policymaking. Dr. Alison Hernandez pointed out that you have to put people in power that resemble your ideologies if you want to see change. ✔️Nurses are solution-driven—we're focused on how to fix things. One can't undermine the role of nurses in shaping health policy. If you have RN behind your name, you have the power to send the email as a constituent and as a concerned citizen. ✔️It takes multiple voices to solve all the different problems that we have. Thus, nurses need to have a least cursory understanding of policy for their voice to be heard because we can't be influential influencers of policy without that. Aside from that, making connections in your community, especially if you're working and volunteering on campaigns, is an excellent way to dip your toe in the political sphere of things. -------------------------------------------------------------- If you have questions, comments, or need help, please feel free to drop a one-minute audio or video clip and email it to me at melissabphd@gmail.com, and I will get back to you by recording an answer to your question.  About Melissa Batchelor, Ph.D., RN, FNP-BC, FGSA, FAAN:   I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing ('96) and Master of Science in Nursing ('00) as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) from the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) School of Nursing (SON). I genuinely enjoy working with the complex medical needs of older adults. I worked full-time for five years as FNP in geriatric primary care across many long-term care settings (skilled nursing homes, assisted living, home, and office visits), then transitioned into academic nursing in 2005, joining the faculty at UNCW SON as a lecturer. I obtained my Ph.D. in Nursing and a post-master's Certificate in Nursing Education from the Medical University of South Carolina College of Nursing ('11). I then joined the faculty at Duke University School of Nursing as an Assistant Professor. My family moved to northern Virginia in 2015 and led to me joining the George Washington University (GW) School of Nursing faculty in 2018 as a (tenured) Associate Professor. I am also the Director of the GW Center for Aging, Health, and Humanities. Please find out more about her work at https://melissabphd.com/.

The United States hasn't officially declared war against another country since World War II, and yet, we've been in dozens of conflicts since then. So what does it mean to "declare war," and how has the definition of war, and how the United States engages in it, changed since our framers wrote the Constitution? Albin Kowalewski, a historical publication specialist at the U.S. House of Representatives, helps us answer these questions. He spoke with our former host, Virginia Prescott, in 2017.

 With the upcoming property owner's vote about whether or not to increase monthly assessments (late 2021), we thought it'd be useful to discuss how the property owner's association (POA) works inside Hot Springs Village, Arkansas. Since Hot Springs Village is not a municipality with taxing authority, it operates much differently than the towns and cities most of us have experienced. Today we discuss some terms and basics by looking under the hood of the "government" of Hot Springs Village. Understanding is the solution to confusion. Thanks to 3-time POA board member, Jeff Atkins, we hope we're able to reduce some of the confusion. • Join Our Free Email Newsletter • Subscribe To The Podcast Anyway You Want • Subscribe To Our YouTube Channel (click that bell icon, too) • Join Our Facebook Group • Tell Your Friends About Our Show!
