Episode # 22: AMA With Wonk Founder Zach Laris
Welcome to our latest edition of WonkCast: People Power Policy.
This week, we’re doing something different.
We asked for your questions about what you’re grappling with right now, and some key themes emerged:
Navigating the relationship between policy and political reality;
Making decisions under real constraints; and
Identifying and asserting what a system like child welfare is actually for.
Joining me to pose your questions is WonkCast team member Ivory Bennett.
Ivory sits in on and edits each week’s episode, and she also hosts her own podcast, the excellent Inner Views.
She not only prompts what you want to hear but brings her own perspective from time in foster care and as a foster and adoptive parent.
Your questions and the deeper tensions they point to sharpened my thinking, and I’m sure they’ll do the same for yours. If you have more, add them here for next time.
In addition, there’s a sneak preview excerpt of our forthcoming Wonk Intelligence Quarterly, which will drop for all premium members on Friday, April 17th.
