Transcript

The government of the United States gets a pretty bad rap. But I will add, the roads under your feet, the forecast on your phone, the mail in your mailbox, that is government too. So if you listen to a show like Civics 101, you should also listen to Government That Doesn't Suck. It is a new podcast hosted by Professors Lindsay Cormack and Greg Jackson, the historian behind the hit podcast History That Doesn't Suck. Each episode digs into the surprising story of an American institution from the origins of the internet, to the National Park Service, to the GI Bill, and so much more. You'll hear the stories behind these institutions, plus a conversation with an expert who knows it inside and out. This is the real history of how we built the country under your feet and you're never going to look at any of it the same way again. New episodes release every other Monday. You can follow Government That Doesn't Suck on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, or you can subscribe on YouTube for video episodes. Check it out.
