Welcome to the podcast where we simplify one complex human issue at a time so you can confidently join the conversation. In a world where talk is cheap, problems intersect, and solutions are hard to come by, we have this radical idea that making policy more accessible to the average human is the key to effective change. On this podcast we talk about policies from around the world, grassroots solutions that are sticking, and how to put people before politics.
Policy Out Loud is a nonpartisan podcast dedicated to unpacking social, political, and economic issues as they relate to policy from both regional and global perspectives in language that is relatable and easy to understand. We’ve ditched the fluff, the confusion, and the posturing, and made it accessible to the average person. Welcome.
We are moving! In this podcast I talk about where we are headed next, my most shaping lessons from life abroad, and what is next for Policy Out Loud. It's personal. It's messy. It's reverent. It's all sorts of love-of-country learned by way of living across of an ocean.

I also talk a lot about peeing in bushes (like, I talk about it a little too much) so...that happened too. Check out the first travel pod of MANY now.

#04 The Relationship Between Policy & Economics | Part 1 Overview
In this episode I interview Dr. Andrew Compton about the relationship between policy and economics. This is episode one of a three part series. In this episode we talk about what the economy is, what the role of GDP is, and talk about how both policy and economics are designed to assess value, evaluate incentives, and create change.

A special thank you is extended to Dr. Andrew Compton for joining us on the show.

#03 War as Policy | The Russian Ukraine Crisis Explained
In this episode I break down the role war plays in achieving policy, and explain the Russian / Ukraine conflict like I would to a friend over coffee - overly simplified. If you have watched the news and don't understand what is happening between Russia and Ukraine, why the conflict in the east is such a big deal, or what's at risk start here. You have come to the right place.
