This week Tayla is joined by Tammy and Emily from RI4All and John Marion from Common Cause RI to talk about voting and other ways to get involved with the government in RI. They also discuss how they use podcasts for entertainment and education and the 1940s Census. During The Last Chapter they discuss: If you could rewrite a book from another character's preservative, what character would you choose?
