In this episode, host Krystoff Kissoon sits down with guest Rachel McGovern, former co-host of KISU’s Sustainable Idaho and the new Editorial Assistant of the Policy Studies Journal.
Krystoff and Rachel navigate her experiences growing up in Pocatello with a sister on the autism spectrum and being from an Irish Catholic immigrant family. They then delve into the big questions, exploring religion as the backbone of society and the importance of questioning institutions of power. The conversation closes with some of Rachel’s insights from political science, and how her time at Sustainable Idaho fundamentally changed how she views the landscape of public policy today.
