No wonder trust in our institutions is at an all time low! Well, we believe that if folks could stop yelling long enough to actually listen to stories about what government does for people every single day, they’d be pretty darn impressed!
This is what this show is about. Join our co-hosts David Martin and Carol D’Auria, two experienced journalists who explore a new Government project in each episode. In each podcast we meet the government worker, a mayor, a county commissioner, a veteran’s affairs officer, or the public works project manager who said, “There must be a better way.” Then they made it happen. We will also speak with the folks who made the project a success, and last but not least, we hear from the people who benefited from these amazing good government-in-action projects. Listeners will hear personal and amazing stories of good government doing good work for good people.
