    When did immigrants become "illegal?"
    Feb 10 2026
    The rules about who could and could not come and live in the United States have changed many times over the last 250 years, but exactly when restrictions were first put on immigration might surprise you. Today, walking us through the myriad qualitative and quantitative systems surrounding immigration policy is Muzaffar Chishti, Senior Fellow and Director of the Migration Policy Institute.

  • Safe to Drink

    Safe to Drink
    Jan 30 2026
    Introducing “Safe to Drink:” A New Hampshire town finds out its water has been contaminated by a chemical. The most basic question — whether the water is safe to drink — doesn’t have a clear answer. Nobody seems to know much about this so-called forever chemical, which is weird because… this has all happened before. From the Document team at New Hampshire Public Radio, "Safe to Drink" is a four-part series about the water contamination story that keeps repeating in town after town — and about the people who fought for answers through a maze of chemistry, regulations, and illnesses.

It is hard to wait every week for a new episode! Fun to listen to, and on my favorite subject - american democracy. I appreciate how you guys break it down, even people who aren't nerds like me will be interested. My favorite episode is probably the first treason trial in the U.S. it really seems to include alot of founding fathers in a weird way... hope there are more federal case episodes to come. I appreciate the effort you guys put into educating.

Three Cheers!

Wanted a legal and an academic discussion of civics. They can’t help themselves to slant with a leftist viewpoint.

Was hoping for an even civics discussion but it devolved into a liberal leftist slant.

If you are a Make America Great Again republican, leave this alone. From chapter one, they call us radicals because we put America ahead of the world. It's a disgusting left-wing podcast. There is NOTHING educational about partisanship.
