About this episode

Adam Conover discusses the importance of state governments in saving democracy with former New York senator Daniel Squadron.

Our federal government is clearly, visibly fucked on too many levels to count. Even scarier? Our state legislatures have immense power and far fewer eyes on them, making them even easier to sway. But this also means they’re attainable targets for us, the people, to organize and take back. This week, Adam speaks with former New York senator Daniel Squadron, author of The Fourth Branch: How State Government Can Save Our Union , about how a focus on our states might just be what we need to save democracy. Find Daniel’s book at factuallypod.com/books -- SUPPORT THE SHOW ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/adamconover SEE ADAM ON TOUR: https://www.adamconover.net/tourdates/ SUBSCRIBE to and RATE Factually! on: » Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/factually-with-adam-conover/id1463460577 » Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0fK8WJw4ffMc2NWydBlDyJ About Headgum: Headgum is an LA & NY-based podcast network creating premium podcasts with the funniest, most engaging voices in comedy to achieve one goal: Making our audience and ourselves laugh.
