The American Political System's Response to a Pandemic
In this socially-distanced episode of Beyond Your News Feed, host Bill Hudson sits down virtually with Professors Adam Myers, Paul Herron, and Matt Guardino to discuss the politics surrounding the outbreak of COVID-19. We address the question: How have the characteristics of the American political system, such as federalism, separation of powers, partisanship, and the media, shaped the response, so far, to the crisis and how might the crisis shape our government and politics in the future. Beyond Your News Feed hopes to provide listeners with a refreshing take on this unsettling crisis. From all of us at Beyond Your News Feed and Providence College, take care and thank you for listening!
