Our Civic Duty

This podcast is a refusal to accept dysfunction as normal.Across politics, institutions, and public life, we are told that division is inevitable, confusion is unavoidable, and meaningful reform is unrealistic. Return to Common Sense rejects that premise. Inspired by the moral clarity of Thomas Paine, this podcast confronts the failures of modern governance with plain language, shared values, and an insistence on accountability.This is not a partisan project. It is a civic one.Each episode challenges the systems that benefit from complexity, secrecy, and public exhaustion—and argues for unity grounded in reality, dignity, and democratic responsibility. The goal is not outrage, nostalgia, or ideological purity, but reform that restores trust, competence, and legitimacy to government.Common sense is not radical. Accepting decay is.Change begins when people stop turning on one another and start demanding better—together.
