This week we've got a show about the United States Senate. We'll visit with New Mexico Senator Martin Heinrich in an interview he says is "a lot harder than I get from CNN." The Kids Crew find out about his job, how he knows what his constituents want, and what he's doing about the climate crisis.
Then, Zen and Amadeus sit down with their Aunt Elsa, a staffer on Senator Heinrich's team. We learn about the filibuster, what happens day to day in a Senators office, and what it's like to be on the staff.
This show is mixed with excellent music, and it's a great way to teach and learn US Civics.
Katie Stone, Producer Many thanks to Senator Martin Heinrich and his field representative, Elsa Menendez for being on the show with us! Evan Daitz (8) wrote our joke, Zen Menendez (13) & Amadeus Menendez (10) co-produced the pieces with their Auntie Elsa.
Breaks can be added at exactly 20:00 & 40:00.
