About the Episode
Welcome back to a new and improved season of #CompactNationPod! This episode we introduce a new format for the show, diving into all things political in a series of short segments. Join as we discuss what we mean when we use the word “politics,” and decode some important new research on student voting. Plus, we say “see ya later” to J.R., who is leaving his post as co-host of the pod, and hear about what he’s got on his plate for the year.
