Dear John,

No one would blame you for feeling like it’s a pretty shaky time for our country. But in politics, times of great upheaval are times of great opportunity.

On my new podcast How to Save a Country, you’ll meet the thinkers, doers, and organizers who are working to make this country a more democratic and just place. I’m excited to be hosting along with Michael Tomasky of The New Republic.

Michael and I talk to people who are connecting the dots between economics, law, and politics. We bring you the good news and big ideas that point to a less fractured, more stable, more equal future. 

Our first episode drops today! Brian Deese, the Director of the National Economic Council, is our first guest. Brian has a front-row seat in our politics. He has shaped lots of the Biden administration’s recent legislative winning streak, which includes unprecedented investments in driving clean energy innovation and rebuilding supply chains that are poised to reshape the American economy for the next decade and beyond.

Listen now to our interview with the president's top economic advisor. And come back every Thursday as we welcome some of the most compelling people working to save, strengthen, and expand our democracy. In the coming episodes, we've got guests you won't want to miss: Heather Cox Richardson, Deepak Bhargava, and Dorian Warren, to name a few.

Thanks for listening,

Felicia Wong
President and CEO
