IYKYK we had a little audio mishap with our interview for this week, so we pivoted faster than the speed of light and are bringing you a different type of episode. An episode we might add, we’ve received loads of requests for – a solo episode with just us, sharing details on the Girl and the Gov story, what the future has in store, and more. We included a fun feature called State of the Bills, highlighting state bills we cheer, and state bills we jeer (it felt punny, let us have this one, okay). From Texas to Idaho, and more we share the good, the bad, and the ugly bills we’ve seen pop through the last few weeks. We also play a mini round of our fast five series, which means you’ll get to hear Maddie’s celeb obsession and Sammy’s dream political power couple. Slay.

Ever wonder what a White House Correspondent does? Well then this episode is going to be one that you listen to time and time again because it features an interview with Emily Barkann, Chief White House Correspondent at AKSM News.

The housing crisis the US of A has found itself in isn’t the result of just one cause or catalyst – it’s a plethora of issues, including the mass purchasing of residential properties by institutional investors. In other words, the ol’ Wall Street crew is playing grab and go with homes at a considerable scale across this country, leading to unaffordable housing, inflated pricing and bidding wars, and a huge cut to the middle and lower markets. It’s a bit complicated, it’s a bit econ 101, and it’s a bit easier to understand with the help of Congressman Ro Khanna of California who has introduced a bill to solve this issue. The bill – the Stop Wall Street Landlords Act – is the central focus of the conversation and how it can solve a critical piece of this policy puzzle. We also define what an institutional investor is so, don’t fret, we’ve got the banking basics in here too. PS have more q’s?

 There are a lot of things to know about State Treasurers and what they do, including that there’s a rumor that there’s a six foot plus height requirement. If you’ve been ‘round these parts before, you know we’ve been joking and joshing about hanging with two state treasurers during the DC trip and that they’re both double our heights. You’d also know that we interviewed one of the two in this Treasurer duo, and that would be Tobias Read who is the Oregon State Treasurer. In our conversation, we get the low down on what a Treasurer does and why it’s vital that voters know about this position. We also talk about a rather revolutionary policy made possible on the retirement funds front through his office and how this has been the poster child policy for other states. Also important is that we define what a pension is, and talk about college savings programs. Maddie and Sammy also drop Botox into this convo - classic. And, before we forget, in post-recording mode, we watched and jammed to the Janet Yellin rap. It’s iconic.

This episode features an interview with the history-making, Michigan Supreme Court Justice Kyra Bolden. Kyra is the FIRST Black woman on the Michigan Supreme Court, and a powerful voice for justice. In our discussion, we chat about the path to this position and what the position does itself. An often confusing ballot decision for voters, we had Kyra pull back the red tape on why this is often the case and how to vet judges before e-day. We importantly walk through what she’s excited for in this new role, and how her time as a Michigan State legislator has positioned her for success in interpreting the laws of the land. We even talked about a few of the bills she got across the finish line. Lots to unpack, lots to listen to, and a seriously amazing icon to keep an eye on as her career continues to grow.

 First things first, this is an evergreen episode. This episode, this interview, this conversation, is one you will be able to listen to time-and-time again, and will always be relevant to share with friends and family. Now that we’ve defined evergreen, let’s get on with it. This interview is with Ashley Edwards, who is a U.S. Partnerships Manager at Google. She’s a former journalist and a former editor, and now works on team Google on the Google News Initiative and media literacy partnerships. She’s basically the go-to media literacy guru – we love to see it. In our conversation with Ashley, we walk through media literacy basics, like ‘what is fact checking?’ and ‘what is a verified source,’ and also, ‘what is a second source?’ Loads of questions, loads of answers. We also talk about Google’s fact checking resources and tools available to you, us, journalists, and everyone under the sun. You’re going to want to bookmark these. Oh, and we also talk the ol’ catfish tool #1, the reverse image search.  Google Fact Checker Explorer: https://toolbox.google.com/factcheck/explorer MediaWise’s Campus Correspondents  Poynter Institute’s MediaWise Action Item: Tell Congress to protect immigrant youth.

You’re going to want to sit down for this. No, seriously, this episode requires being seated. It’s powerful, it’s moving, and honestly much of this discussion had us all choked up. On this episode – one of our very first recorded in person – is a sit down with FL State Representative (D-95) & Former Parkland, FL Mayor, Christine Hunschofsky. This incredible leader walked us through what happened in Parkland, specifically the aftermath of the violent day that put the city on the national map. We discussed how towns and cities are or are not prepared for mass tragedies. We discussed the mental toll and impact on the communities in which these tragedies occur (a piece of the puzzle and mental health discussion that’s often omitted from the narrative around gun violence). We discuss Florida’s red flag law and its effectiveness. And, we also talk about leading with a humanity-first outlook. There’s a lot to unpack, and a lot to learn from this conversation.

We’re going back to the classroom this week with this week’s interview featuring Education Activist, Nicholas Ferroni. In our conversation, we cover a lot of ground, shedding light on the abysmal teacher pay issues in this country, as well as the teacher shortage. We discuss how these two pieces are related, as well as other factors influencing many educator’s exit from the role. A bit of teacher therapy, a bit of Maddie having a flashback to high school chem class, and a bit of what we can do to address the issues coming to a head in our public education system (ex: The American Teacher Act), this episode gives a little bit of everything.  Nicholas Ferroni: https://www.instagram.com/nicholasferroni/ Action Item - Pledge to prevent Trump presidency 2.0: https://bit.ly/3tVkz5a **This action item is sponsored by Adam Schiff for Congress Shop Girl and the Gov® x Social Goods: https://bit.ly/3xE6PxT #VIRAL by Girl and the Gov®: https://www.girlandthegov.com/newsletter Brand Ambassador Program: https://www.girlandthegov.com/the-ambassadors  Fall/Winter Internship: https://www.girlandthegov.com/careers  Shop our Etsy Store: https://etsy.me/3AyhGLT Follow us on social media: Instagram: @girlandthegov and @girlandthegovthepodcast TikTok: @girlandthegov YouTube: @girlandthegov LinkedIn: @girlandthegov Pinterest: @girlandthegov Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

On its face, the marriage of labor unions and environmental organizations may seem like the odd couple of politics. But when you think about it, and when you listen to this interview with Jason Walsh, Executive Director of Blue Green Alliance, it all begins to make sense. You’ll be saying you ‘ship this duo that’s working together to solve today’s many environmental challenges, by the end. You’ll also be able to say you understand quite a few enviro x political science terms you might’ve heard ‘round the headlines, but have been unsure of, by tuning in here. A few examples - what is clean infrastructure? What is OSHA? What is the EPA? This episode is part get up to speed on the basics and part get to understand an unexpected yet effective powerduo.
