National Policy programs two podcasts
National Policy Programs (NPP) mission is to turn every person into a ‘Policy wonk’.
Definition of a policy wonk is:
POLICY WONK
NORTH AMERICAN
INFORMAL
- a person who takes an enthusiastic or excessive interest in minor details of political policy.
- “she is a policy wonk in tune with a younger generation of voters”
NPP wants people to understand and appreciate how devoting attention to policy details, its frameworks and methodologies, its way of thinking can help deliver better public policy decisions and improve life for all of us.
To help expand the population of ‘policy wonks’ , NPP has produced two podcasts offered free of charge to everyone.

Researchers around the world study and research public policy and publish in academic journals. This research is rarely read by people interested in policy or by policy practitioners. Randal Stewart chooses interesting and vital publications, reads a description of the study, the key points, the background to the research, the aim and methods of the study, its results and limitations. This is a podcast for those who desire to get the information in academic research but may be too busy to read it or simply want a professional analysis of its main find
