Generation Reset with Kerry Rodríguez
Generation Reset explores political activation: the forces and impulses that push people into or out of US politics.
As your host, I meet with and interview guests to explore civic engagement in all its forms—not just running for office or working inside a campaign, but building the technology, companies, and infrastructure that shape how people engage government and vice versa.
Past guests include:
- A mother whose experience lobbying local transit authorities to address an unfair bus policy led her down a path to joining city politics
- A 15-year veteran of the federal government who spoke about why she believes AI and automation will force a reimagining of federal government from the ground up
- A chief procurement officer at a county school system who talks about how to make government systems work better for the people they're meant to serve
- A former social impact consultant who traces her path into politics through co-founding a PAC focused on making New York easier, faster, and cheaper to build
