By now, you’ve heard how my Political Science minor started shaping the way I think about theatre. But in Part 3, things really start to merge — because this is where both worlds collide in full force. This episode digs into how politics and theatre feed off each other: the strategy behind storytelling, the performance behind leadership, and the way every audience — whether it’s a classroom or a crowd — responds to power and truth.

I open up about what it’s like juggling two completely different mindsets: the creative chaos of rehearsals and the logical discipline of policy and debate. Somehow, they balance each other out. Political Science keeps me grounded in facts and systems, while theatre reminds me that emotions and humanity are what make those systems matter.

This episode is honest and a little introspective — a look at how I’m learning to connect what I study with who I’m becoming. Whether you’re in college, chasing a creative dream, or just trying to figure out how your interests fit together, this one’s for you.

New episodes drop every Monday, so follow @NGLIwithAndrew everywhere and keep listening. Because no matter how far this mix of theatre and politics takes me, one thing’s for sure: whatever’s on my mind, it’s always on this mic.
