Democracy and Its Discontents

Democracy and Its Discontents, a five-episode miniseries from IGCC’s Talking Policy podcast, examines the challenges faced by American democracy at a time of sky-high political polarization, rock-bottom institutional trust, and far-reaching changes to the U.S. economy, media environment, and society. In October 2025, Democracy and Its Discontents won Gold at the Davey Awards, an international creative awards that annually recognizes the smart, nimble and impactful work being done by small, independent creatives worldwide.
