This Old Democracy is a regular podcast that explores the ideas, movements, and people working to rescue our faltering political system — and rebuild American democracy on a stronger, more inclusive, and truly representative foundation.
Micah Sifry is your host, and he’s been on this beat for a long time — from taking on the problem of money in politics, to writing a book about third parties, to tracking how the internet keeps shaking up the system, and more recently, joining the fight against rising authoritarianism and fascism.
This Old Democracy is a podcast produced in partnership with the Center for Ballot Freedom, a cross-partisan nonprofit organization, dedicated to strengthening American democracy.
