Why should we care about politics?

And, just like that, we’re in the midst of yet another election season. With news fatigue and election fatigue, it’s easy to feel jaded.

This hour, we explore why we feel that way, talk about how to overcome those feelings, and discuss why we should care about politics.

GUESTS:

• Gabe Fleisher: Author of Wake Up to Politics and a student at Georgetown University
• Roya Hakakian: Author and poet whose latest book is A Beginner’s Guide to America: For the Immigrant and the Curious
• Eitan Hersh: Author of Politics Is for Power: How to Move Beyond Political Hobbyism, Take Action, and Make Real Change
