Everything Is Broken playlist for 02/05/2013

Our show today will focus on our so-called “two-party system” within the context of the evolution of the Democratic Party over the past 50 years. Is either party relevant today? Tune in as we explore this and other issues with our featured guest, Sean Savage. Sean is Professor of Political Science at St. Mary’s College, South Bend, Indiana. He has published three books on the U.S. presidency and the Democratic Party: “Roosevelt: The Party Leader”; “Truman and the Democratic Party”; and “JFK, LBJ, and the Democratic Party”.

Sean is also faculty advisor for St. Mary’s Washington Semester Program, Savage encourages political science majors to explore possible careers in the nation’s capital.
