Feature interview: teacher-turned-podcaster on US politics

From Afternoons, 3:10 pm today

It's been called the chaos agenda, as US President Donald Trump moves with unprecedent speed to implement his policies that include pardoning January 6th rioters, imposing tariffs on America's neighbours and appointing billionaire Elon Musk to fire thousands of federal workers. The question so many people have is, can he do that? Sharon McMahon is a former high school teacher doing her best not just to explain America, but to make sense of it in a non-partisan way. Her classroom is now the world through her popular podcast Here's Where it Gets Interesting and Substack The Preamble.
