Get 2 the Point
A podcast that looks at things-- politics and otherwise-- from a very big picture perspective and addresses underlying causes and underlying issues. No messing around with superficial stuff and half-baked analysis: just get to the point.The "2" in the title is there to reflect that this is my second podcast, I recorded the first episode on 2/2/22, and I'm uploading the first episode on 2/22/22.Also, for a wide-range of popular discussion topics such as food, entertainment media, current events, fashion, and just a bit of politics, check out my other podcast, Spaghetti Sass, which I host along with my sister-in-law Kelli.

Episode 4
In this episode, I explain how representation of citizens works in the U.S. Government, how redistricting follows the census, what gerrymandering is, where it came from, why it's so bad in general, where things stand currently, and how things are only likely to get worse from here. And I discuss what we can do from here to hopefully make things better instead. All that in under 25 minutes... so we're not wasting any time here!
Here's a link to a picture of the original gerrymandered district:
