After spending countless hours managing, searching for, and organizing information in our previous jobs in the political world, all of us at Legislata needed a better way.
So we created a software product to solve the headaches we were encountering every day. It’s a platform for information about politics and policy, with productivity features built in to make your workplace hum with efficiency.
But, in the process of talking with our users, we learned a lot about how to best navigate a career in the political arena that don’t apply to where to place the buttons on a screen.
Stories are better in a podcast
Many of our user interviews focused on the biggest challenges in the workday and how they overcame them.
So we’re starting this podcast to provide an inside look at careers in politics and how to navigate one of the hardest jobs out there. Whether you’re an elected official trying to pass legislation while getting trolled online, staffers thrown into constituent case work after thinking you’d be debating policy all day, or a reporter trying to cover government while seeing your industry getting hit by job cuts, it’s not easy. Yet our country depends on people doing these jobs and doing them well.
We won’t be talking about the events of the week or hot takes on the news. We’ll leave that to the many, many other podcasts and newsletters who do that.
Instead, we’re recording for those who want to work in this world, who want to work better, or who want a peek at what it’s really like to be in our democracy from 9am to 5pm (or later). Each interview will focus on one aspect of the job and some best practices to handling it.
Episodes are free to listen to. We greatly appreciate paid subscriptions as it allows us to devote more time to producing these guides. And please be in touch if you’d like to be on the show or want to recommend someone who we should interview.
