About us
The Democracy Group is a network of podcasts united around the goal of helping listeners understand what’s broken in our democracy, and how people are working together to fix it. We see the network as a public service dedicated to creating a more informed, civically engaged electorate. Subscribe to our newsletter: https://www.democracygroup.org/newsletter Podcasts in this network model a form of dialogue and inquiry that is civil and well-informed and a commitment to fostering civic engagement. You’ll hear from scholars, policy experts, journalists, organizers, and everyday people who are exercising the rights and responsibilities as democratic citizens. The network allows individual podcasts to collaborate with one another and provides listeners with a one-stop shop for podcasts about democracy, civic engagement, and civil discourse. Our podcasts move beyond the partisan horserace to examine larger-scale issues of politics, government, and civil society. The Democracy Group is organized and funded by The McCourtney Institute for Democracy at Penn State, which produces the Democracy Works podcast in partnership with WPSU, central Pennsylvania’s NPR station.

Thank you Manu Meel for this important reminder and call to action.
We have to bring our country back together. This must be priority #1. Right. Left. Independent. It doesn’t matter. Political violence has no place in our country. The shooting at former President Trump’s rally must be roundly condemned. Our toxic polarization has real world consequences. It’s time to chart a new path.

"According to Edison Research, nearly half of Gen Z are monthly podcast listeners. But their voices are largely absent from podcasts about democracy, civic engagement and civil discourse. The Democracy Group’s podcast fellowship, which recently completed its third cohort, aims to change that." The Democracy Group Founder Jenna Spinelle reflected on our most recent cohort of Podcast Fellows and their contribution to bringing Gen Z voices to the podcasting sphere.

Juneteenth signifies the end of a painful chapter of American history and reaffirms the nation’s commitment to racial justice and equality. Juneteenth Independence Day or Emancipation Day originally marked the end of slavery in Galveston, Texas in 1865 after the Civil War, reported The New York Times. Since the late 1800s, African American communities have gathered to commemorate Black history and an advancement in human rights. This year marks the fourth year Americans celebrate this holiday since President Biden signed the bill into law in 2021, making it the 11th holiday recognized by the federal government.
