The Death Penalty

This podcast is and isn't a lot of things. It isn't the funniest podcast out there, or the best edited one, or one with a podcaster with the voice of an angel. But it is the result of a lot of work and research and I hope you enjoy it. Each week we take a different concept in political theory (free speech, campaign spending, right to bear arms, etc.) and look at its history and evolution in society and then we break apart the various issues and debates surrounding it. Lastly, we'll look at where that concept is going in the context of the 21st century and new technologies. Thank you so much for listening and giving the podcast a chance!
