I Hate Politics is a podcast about our neighborhoods, workplaces, schools and streets, and our local governments as they function in diverse and democratic societies.
This means our politics are messy, dirty, sometimes corrupt, with often self-serving politicians.
But no matter how much we may hate politics, we are never exempt from it, even when we refuse to participate.
In fact, the purpose of politics is to keep society functioning precisely when we don't agree with each other, like now.
Music for this episode comes from Baltimore-based musician Seth Keibel's new album, Clarinet Without a Net.

Jeff Gruber at Blue House Productions in Silver Spring recorded, mixed, and mastered the album.
