Description
“The Citizen Stewart Show” is an independent, pull-no-punches podcast from The Branch about the perils and promise of education and democracy. Hosted by Chris “Citizen” Stewart, CEO of Brightbeam, a nonprofit national network of activists fighting for educational opportunity and justice for every child. And co-hosted by Ravi Gupta, former Obama staffer and former superintendent of a network of charter schools in the South. “The Citizen Stewart Show” shines light on the dark forces keeping our students, schools, and democracy mired in counterproductive politics. No headline or issue is off limits, because education is at the heart of everything in America.
