#020—The Shiny Object

Outrage, frustration, fear, and confusion are common feelings about politics in America today. It's no fun to feel this way. The Pothole Problem Podcast features interviews with activists, public servants, and political observers discussing how they work with and make use of their outrage. The intention is to examine different ways of looking at the world in order to cultivate a relationship to politics that is less frustrating and more satisfying.
