Hi, and welcome to the your good news podcast with me your host Katherine Getty.

Welcome back to another episode of The your good news podcast. This episode is special because it is the season finale. Season two is going to be now in the books. If this is your first time listening welcome, or if you're a regular listener, and have missed any episodes over the last couple years, take the time over the hiatus to really dive into some old episodes.

If you haven't, go check out some of the other amazing podcasts on the network, you'll be sure to enjoy. And Jason Sean, thank you so much for the support you have given to the Oregon news podcast here is to season three. In season two, we have covered a lot when it comes good news coming out of Washington. This was quite the pivot from season one that was really a love letter. For me. It was a collection of interviews featuring folks creating their good news. As a reminder, the Oregon news podcast started out the idea of there is good around us not negating the hard stuff not negating those days that don't feel good. But there is good if we choose to find out. And in season one, it really is a collection of like I said interviews of these people that have really touched my lives. People that have come along the way, have really created some good and it's really inspiring stuff. In season two, we have delved into the US national debt, we've better understood some key committees in Congress, like the House Rules Committee or Senate HELP Committee, I've covered the happenings and well, sometimes not happenings of Congress. I've talked through how to register to vote how to call a member of Congress, because it was my goal in making this shift in season two to share more of what lights me up, and that is politics. And I know what you're thinking politics can light you up. I am a nerd. It is your first time listening, welcome. But my hope and creating all of these episodes about different facets of the US government was I wanted to give you the tools to better engage with our US government. I think everything these days has a filter. And my hope was to just give you Hey, this is how it was created, or this is why it's here or how can you better engage with it because if you have the understanding of the rules of the road, then you can actually drive correctly. I think it is so important. Like I said with the filters, it's so important to feel like okay, I have the understanding of the why the basis of the foundation so that I can shape my own feelings on insert policy issue. This has become my updated Schoolhouse Rock. Because if you have an understanding of the process, you can go influence it. I am going to take some time in August to brainstorm, to dream and to create and I want to continue the Schoolhouse Rock idea. But bring in some more friends do some interviews, some respect to guest on the episodes to share how the news out of Washington what's happening and give it context for you. Why does it matter? I don't know what form it will take. But I will be back this fall with brand new content and I cannot wait for that. So here's my ask for you. Share with me what you're interested in. Email me at support at your good news podcast.com or Instagram. My handle is at Katherine Getty and I'll include this in the show notes. Let me know what you want to hear more about. Is it more on the administration? Or are you curious about the presidential election coming up in 2024? Hard to believe I'm saying those words or are you curious what happens after a laws made?

I want this to continue to serve you so that you can engage some of you in learning something maybe it didn't know about the US government.
