About this listen

Everything is rooted in politics. And everyone deserves to understand that. That’s why we’re making politics personal and relevant for all—because political literacy shouldn’t be confusing or exclusive. Tune in as Chris unpacks current events, politics basics, pop culture connections, and why it all matters (with clarity, context, and a little opinion here and there). Join the community by following us @rootedinpolitics (or @rootinpolitics on Twitter and YouTube) and visiting rootedinpolitics.com.Chris Fluellen Political Science Politics & Government

  • Here Lies Our Democracy...?
    Jul 7 2025

    Episode #1: Democracy in the United States is dying. Anyone who paid attention in history class could tell you that. I believe a major reason for our current political situation is a lack of political literacy, knowledge, and awareness. So, I created Rooted in Politics to help change that.

    In this episode, I’m talking about the basics of this new podcast and community: its mission, vision, and values. I’m also shouting out some incredible people who made Rooted in Politics possible.
