Transcript

The government gets a bad rap, but did you know that the roads under your feet, the forecast on your phone, the letter in your mailbox, that's all government too. Government That Doesn't Suck 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 stories behind them, plus a conversation with an expert who knows it inside and out. This is the real story of how we built the country under your feet, and you'll never look at any of it the same way again. New episodes release every other Monday. Follow Government That Doesn't Suck on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, or subscribe on YouTube for video episodes. Again, the name of the new show is Government That Doesn't Suck, and it's hosted by Lindsay Cormack and Greg Jackson. Greg's been on many episodes of History Unplugged in the past. He's always been a great guest, just does a great job of breaking things down, and I recommend you check out his new show.
