About this listen

The term “government shutdown” has surged across search trends again but what does it actually mean, why does it happen, and who feels the impact first? In this episode, we break down the political gridlock behind the headlines, the real-world consequences for everyday people, and why social media always erupts whenever shutdown threats appear.
