We are moving! In this podcast I talk about where we are headed next, my most shaping lessons from life abroad, and what is next for Policy Out Loud. It's personal. It's messy. It's reverent. It's all sorts of love-of-country learned by way of living across of an ocean.

In this episode I talk about the vision for travel pods, cool policies London is implementing to deal with regionally specific problems, travel tips, and places to see, eat, and enjoy. I also talk a lot about peeing in bushes (like, I talk about it a little too much) so...that happened too. Check out the first travel pod of MANY now.

In this episode I continue the conversation with Dr. Andrew Compton about the relationship between policy and economics. This is part 3 of a 3 episode series. In this episode we answer listener questions including 'Will the Ukraine Crisis affect the frequency the Fed raises interest rates in 2022?' and 'Are Biden's policies to blame for the cost of living American's are facing?' and so many more!

In this episode I interview Dr. Andrew Compton about the relationship between policy and economics. This is episode one of a three part series. In this episode we talk about what the economy is, what the role of GDP is, and talk about how both policy and economics are designed to assess value, evaluate incentives, and create change. We use examples from everything like abortion reform to transportation. Never studied policy or the economy? That's perfectly fine - this episode is for you.

A special thank you is extended to Dr. Andrew Compton for joining us on the show.

In this episode I break down the role war plays in achieving policy, and explain the Russian / Ukraine conflict like I would to a friend over coffee - overly simplified. If you have watched the news and don't understand what is happening between Russia and Ukraine, why the conflict in the east is such a big deal, or what's at risk start here. You have come to the right place.

In this episode I am interviewed by Sue Van Raes of Boulder Nutrition on my experience volunteering in the traveler camps for our Afghan partners who were airlifted Afghanistan during operation Allies Refuge. In this podcast I talk about the importance of language in policy development, the struggle to find the right words when talking about the importance of culture, and chat about the conditions of traveler camps and the needs of our incoming partners with Sue. It's a podcast rich in information and good conversation, and we hope you enjoy!
