In this new podcast, Unpacking Politics, political scientists Kate Floros and Evan McKenzie (University of Illinois Chicago) will discuss a wide range of political issues, trying to get to the bottom of what's going on in the world.

In the first episode we talk with Juan Albarracín, our UIC Political Science colleague about the January 3, 2026 US special forces raid that deposed Venezuelan president, Nicholas Maduro.
