Just got this comment for our fundraiser: "I've heard every episode of this show. Nick and Hannah are weird people, but that's okay. So am I." Joe? If you're reading this, you don't know how good it made us feel. And buddy, you don't know the HALF of it. Here's a link to the mug. bit.ly/40hN5h6

Ok. Executive orders. What are they? Andy Rudalevidge gives us the lowdown on orders, proclamations, memoranda, et al What CAN'T an order order? Why are EOs loved, why are they despised? And what is their impact on the powers of Congress and the courts? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w... #sschat

I highly recommend Civics 101 podcast. I never really cared for this subject when I was a student but it’s helped me learn a lot about the topics that are prevalent today.

For anyone who wants to look at the data (we referenced in our most recent episode that the vast majority of families that used voucher credits to pay for private school were wealthy) here it is. Only three states (LA, AZ, VA) provided data, but it's a start. itep.org/tax-avoidanc...

Our EP just noted this to us, the White House's website has removed their page on The Constitution. We shall continue to use it in every episode regardless.

Trump has promised to dismantle the Department of Education. So, what does the DoED do? A lot, and not what you might think. @adamlaats.bsky.social takes us through the whole thing, from "A Nation at Risk" to Title 1, with cults and bombs along the way. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w... #sschat

Such kind words Dominic. Stay tuned for Tuesday, when we talk about what the Department of Ed does!

It's not every day we interview the people who hold the offices we explore, but today is different. If you're curious about what the Sec. of Transportation does, infrastructure, and how the DoT funds projects, today's guest is VERY qualified. #sschat #EduSky podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

Here we are again! Another battle for the Speaker of the House. Want to know what they do? What they don't do? Why they can be, at times, an emperor? And other times hardly anything at all? @dancassino.bsky.social lays it allllll out. www.civics101podcast.org/civics-101-e... #sschat

#sschat have a day or two with buzzing, humming students looking longingly at the snow? Why not explore how Santa is (might be) a criminal! B+E, trespass, voyeurism, unfair labor practices and so much more. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

I was an acting major at Emerson College. Cared only about getting cast. On a whim, took a class on the First Amendment with Professor Michael Brown, who scared 2/3rds of the class away on the first day. "I am not easy. I do fail people." Second day he said, "now we can have some fun."

We've wanted to do an episode on Lobbying for years. But we always hit the same wall. We want to talk to a person who WAS a lobbyist or member of Congress who will tell the truth about the work, money, results. If any of you know someone who would do this, even anonymously, give them our card.

Hey there #sschat and #educhat folk! Ever want to learn about tariffs? Why did we used to have them? Why did we stop? What will happen if we increase them? In 25 minutes you'll have 'em down PAT. With Shannon O'Neil from the Council on Foreign Relations. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

I spent far too long looking to see if there IS anything in the NBA rulebook that says a dog can't play basketball, maybe some potential age restrictions, but then realized it's high school and decided I'd had enough for one day.

Two listener questions answered today: What is the Cabinet? What do they DO? And what's up with these potential recess appointments? @dancassino.bsky.social answers everything you've always wanted to know about the people who (don't really) advise the president. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

Hey hey #sschat folks, if that hash is even up and running these days, we got "School Lunch" in the hopper, as well as an episode on Fed 10 in the coming weeks. Also considering doing a "lesser known Federalist Papers" ep, though unsure if there's an audience for it. Taking requests!

Any #sschat ex-pat educators here now? Looking to find a way for all our SS educator folks to stay connected as more migrate away from other platforms. @socialstudiestx.bsky.social @historyfrog.bsky.social @markjwestpfahl.bsky.social @mrshistorylee.bsky.social and others are here!

We've received an unprecedented amount of requests to do an episode on the "southern strategy." They all came in a short period of time from different people, and it makes me wonder if there's some recent narrative or talking point regarding it? Does anyone know?

Hey there #EduSky and friends, Nick here from Civics 101. Tabula Rasa. Hope to do more here than post new episodes. But it's what we have as of today, so give a listen to Separation of Church and State and tell us what we missed. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...
