We're not experts – just normal people. This week, we talk about how the United States Postal Service is in crisis, what systemic issues have created this situation, and why it's vital that we protect the post office to secure our freedom of speech.  

James Treakle, Ben Grimes, Hans-Eric Jaeger, and Adam Bailey talk politics on the weekly Normal People Podcast.
