About this listen

Ever wonder how the way a country is run affects your everyday life? In this week’s episode, we're diving deep into how different types of governments change everything around us – from what's cool in our culture to how much money families make, and even how much freedom you have.

We'll take a fun trip through history, looking at old ideas about power and then jump to today's big arguments about democracy (where people have a say) versus authoritarianism (where one strong leader or group calls all the shots). Get ready for a discussion that will make you think differently about the news and the world around you!
