    The Progress Pondcast Episode 12: Reporter Bill Hangley Returns to Talk Parks, DOGE, Soviet-style "Governance," and Ukraine
    Feb 26 2025

    Friend of the pod, Hall Monitor's Bill Hangley—who you may remember from last seaon—spent the mid-1990s reporting from eastern Europe. He's back to discuss how DOGE could affect Philly parks—and ultimately make it impossible to get anything done. Plus, Trump and Putin move to partition Ukraine. Marty has thoughts. It's two hours of fun!
