| 6/23/26 | Lore of the Founding- Founding of the Roman Republic | A king gets exiled, a republic gets born, and the story is so brutal it still shapes how people talk about tyranny today. We dig into Rome’s founding legend with Joanna Kenty, starting with the Roman monarchy, the reign of Tarquin the Proud, and the moment one crime becomes the final straw that makes Romans swear off kings forever. It’s not clean hero worship. It’s a reminder that unchecked power can turn private violence into a public crisis, and that “freedom” sometimes begins as a vow made... | 31m 30s | ||||||
| 6/22/26 | The Lore of the Founding: Checks And Balances in Rome | A republic doesn’t fail only because of enemies at the gates. It can fail because someone inside decides the rules are for other people. That’s the tension we wrestle with as we explore checks and balances, starting with the Federalist 51 idea that still cuts through every civics debate: human beings are not angels, so a government must be designed to control itself. We tell two Roman Republic stories that make the stakes feel real. Coriolanus shows what happens when pride, class conflict, a... | 35m 47s | ||||||
| 6/19/26 | What is Juneteenth and Why Do We Celebrate? | Juneteenth isn’t just a date; it’s a lesson about how freedom can be promised on paper and still withheld in practice. I’m joined by Clint Smith, the New York Times bestselling author of *How the Word Is Passed* and a staff writer at The Atlantic, to trace why so many Americans grew up barely hearing about Juneteenth and what changes when we finally tell the story plainly. We walk through the history that made Juneteenth necessary: the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, the end of the Civil ... | 22m 24s | ||||||
| 6/18/26 | Lore of the Founding- An Introduction | America’s founding didn’t spring from a blank page. It grew out of a loud, messy argument that had been running for centuries about how people should govern themselves, and Joanna Kenty helps us follow that argument back to its classical roots. We talk with Joanna, a former classics professor and civic education writer, about what “classical history” actually means beyond “great books.” She maps the Greek and Latin-speaking Mediterranean world, the timelines most people mean when they say “t... | 31m 54s | ||||||
| 6/17/26 | The War Powers Act Explained | The Constitution draws a bright line that most of us never hear clearly: Congress declares war, and the President commands the military. So why does modern American conflict so often start without a formal declaration, and why does the “commander in chief” argument keep winning in practice? We sit down with Dr. Sean Beienberg to unpack the War Powers Act, also known as the War Powers Resolution of 1973, and the long tug-of-war over constitutional war powers. We connect the founding debates i... | 27m 27s | ||||||
| 6/16/26 | How Primaries Pick Candidates And Reshape Elections | Primaries decide far more than most voters think and the process that was supposed to make politics cleaner may be one reason it feels uglier. We sit down with Dr. Sean Beienberg to unpack what primary elections actually are, why they took off in the early 20th century, and how they replaced the old convention system where party leaders and delegates negotiated nominees behind closed doors. If you’ve ever heard “smoke-filled room” and assumed the cure was obvious, this conversation adds the m... | 16m 51s | ||||||
| 6/15/26 | The Senate Filibuster Explained | The filibuster gets treated like an ancient feature of the U.S. Senate, but the version that drives today’s gridlock is surprisingly modern. We sit down with Dr. Sean Beienberg to unpack how a procedure that’s not even named in the Constitution ends up acting like a standing 60-vote requirement for most legislation. We start with the basics: what a filibuster is, what it is supposed to do, and why the classic image of someone heroically talking for hours is more myth than daily reality.
