On each episode of Nation State of Play, we explore the political forces driving public policy across California. We dig deep on federal and state topics to find out what politicians are doing, and most interestingly—why they’re doing it. We explore these topics with political insiders, advocates, and policy-makers themselves to get below the headlines, and show you the true forces shaping our nation state.
