  • 35 - The Civil Rights Movement: More Than One Leader
    Jan 22 2026

    In this episode of The Sharing English Podcast, we explore the broader Civil Rights Movement in the United States — beyond Martin Luther King Jr. We talk about the ordinary people, key figures, and different strategies that helped challenge segregation and discrimination in the 1950s and 1960s. You’ll also hear how this movement led to major legal changes, why its history still matters today, and how you can learn more through films and museums.

  • U.S. Government Explained Ep. 13 - Interest Groups & Lobbying
    Jan 20 2026

    In this episode of U.S. Government Explained, we look at how interest groups and lobbying shape American politics between elections.

    We’ll explain what interest groups are, what lobbying really means, and how organized groups influence laws, government agencies, and court decisions. Using a real historical example, we’ll show how advocacy works in practice — including how groups interact with lawmakers, use the courts, and work with the media to support policy change.

    This episode helps explain why voting alone does not determine government outcomes, and how ongoing participation plays a major role in the U.S. political system.

  • 34 - Why does Martin Luther King Jr. Still Matter Today?
    Jan 15 2026

    In this episode of The Sharing English Podcast, we ask: Why does Martin Luther King Jr. still matter today? Beyond the famous quotes, we explore MLK’s role in the broader Civil Rights Movement, what he actually fought for, and how his ideas challenged power in his own time. We also reflect on how MLK is remembered today — including current debates over whose histories are highlighted or removed in public spaces. Clear, thoughtful, and accessible listening for English learners.
