Ever wanted to advise a president, serve in Congress, or help craft public policy behind the scenes — but just don’t know how to get there, or which path is right for you? Then “Why Public Service?” is the podcast for you. Each week, we dive into the minds of men and women who chose to help improve our nation through a career in public service— whether through government service, working for think tanks, advocacy groups, or philanthropy. This podcast is a product of the R Street Institute, a free market think tank in Washington, D.C.
