The podcast refresher course on the basics of how our democracy works, from NHPR. https://www.civics101podcast.org/
Well, we left some stuff out last time. Turns out the president CAN radically affect the price of gas. We spoke again with Robert Rapier, chemical engineer and energy analyst, to understand exactly how attacking Iran impacted what we pay at the pump. #sschat podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...
Hey there everyone in #sschat land. Nick here. Look. A lot of you are like me. You know that you make saltpeter by treating sodium nitrate with potassium chloride. You may know I am a little obsessed with the musical 1776, and tomorrow's episode I share my own... personal...convictions.

Reading the news and getting mad doesn't change anything. Today, in a hyperspecific rant about motion smoothing, Nick gives three ways to get your elected officials to listen to you. With Eric Schwartz, @emilyassembly.bsky.social, and a lot of impressions. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...
@dancassino.bsky.social does it again. Wanna know all about the Monroe Doctrine? Banana wars? Greenland? A retrenchment of monarchies? The little SOTU paragraph that could. Learn about "dominance in the western hemisphere" from Monroe to Maduro. #sschat podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

MaryEllen Wessels@teacher-wessels.bsky.social · last yr.Oh @civics101pod.bsky.social you are there when I need a laugh. "27 reasons your king is *awful* #10 will shock you!"

Thanks to my friend @capodice.bsky.social for the opportunity to contribute to this very fun episode on the grievances in the Declaration of Independence. This is one of my favorite exercises to go through with students every year and I loved getting the chance to do it for such a great podcast

Just got this comment for our fundraiser: "I've heard every episode of this show. Nick and Hannah are weird people, but that's okay. So am I." Joe? If you're reading this, you don't know how good it made us feel. And buddy, you don't know the HALF of it. Here's a link to the mug. bit.ly/40hN5h6
