OUR LITTLE PODCAST IS DOING GREAT THINGS
When I launched this podcast back in July 2023, with the help of the amazing faculty at the University of East Anglia, it was nothing more than a passion project. We wanted to create an American history podcast that took some of the big and most complex topics, and break them down for everyone to understand.
I'm so proud that nearly three years later we have something that feels so much more than just a history podcast.

The Constitution (?!)
My 28th Amendment is…
Remove the two senators per state rule, and replace it with senator elections every four years, between Presidential elections, with a new Senatorial District Map spreading the 100 senators evenly across the country based on population.
Why?
As it stands, the Senate does not fairly represent the American people by population. For example, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Utah and Kansas combined have 20% of California’s population, but 10x the representation in the Senate.
