MEET THE AUTHORS You’re the hosts of a popular podcast called Civics 101 (New Hampshire Public Radio), which inspired your book A User’s Guide to Democracy. What gave you the idea to turn your podcast into a book? Hannah McCarthy: After years of crafting disparate lessons on democracy, the wish to put it all in one cohesive place (while keeping it nearly as portable as a podcast) was finally fulfilled in the opportunity to commit what we’ve learned about civics to writing. Never mind the fact that print is my first love and pursuit. Oh, the incomparable pleasure of the perfect footnote. Who should read this book? Nick Capodice: This book is for anyone who looked at their state house and wondered, “What are they doing in there?” It’s for anyone who, like me, is ashamed at the utter lack of retention from their 8th grade Social Studies class. It’s the absolute basics of the rules of the game, and why they were written that way.
