In an era shaped by misinformation and constant political dispute, Sharon McMahon has built an audience of more than 1.4 million on Instagram by doing what few public voices now do: offering clear, fact-based, nonpartisan explanations of how government works, along with context from history and current events.

In this episode, Jorge and Paola sit down with the #1 New York Times bestselling author to talk about how she has become a trusted voice for audiences trying to make sense of today’s chaotic political landscape and why her book The Small and the Mighty is bringing long-overlooked historical figures back into the spotlight, such as UCLA’s first Latina professor. They also discuss how she finds common ground with people who have different political beliefs and whether she sees herself ever running for office.
