📚 Lecture: Podcasts and Politicians: The New Political Stage

🎤 Speaker: Professor Lindsey Cormack

In recent years, politicians have increasingly turned to podcasting as a means of building their own media empires, one episode at a time. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on who is participating in this trend and the topics they are covering. What does this surge in political podcasting mean for our democracy and the way political discourse is shaped?

Lindsey Cormack is an associate professor of Political Science and the Director of the Diplomacy Lab at Stevens Institute of Technology. She has authored two insightful books, How to Raise a Citizen (And Why it’s Up to You to Do It) and Congress and U.S. Veterans: From the GI Bill to the VA Crisis. Additionally, she created and maintains the digital database of all official Congress-to-constituent e-newsletters at www.dcinbox.com.

Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with the fascinating intersection of politics and media with Professor Lindsey Cormack!
