Why do the midterms matter? What do your representatives in Congress do for you? What forces might be working against your power as a voter? Civics 101 is your guidebook to the midterm elections.

Civics 101, the podcast refresher course on the basics of how our democracy works, has your guidebook for the how and the why of the midterm elections. From why you should vote and how to do it, to the difference between the House and the Senate, to the forces that disenfranchise voters, we have the tools to help you understand how to make the most of your vote.

Civics 101 has combined our six-part series about the election into 3 hour-long broadcast specials, each designed to air as a single, stand-alone special, or as a 3-part package for midterm election coverage. (If you have to choose just one, we recommend the Disinformation, Misinformation, and Gerrymandering episode!)
